Basically, folders do not support metadata, but the files do - a new alternative consists of assigning a color to your folders to manage them visually only ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-8.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-1.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-9.png) You can use the following API to do it programmatically: ```HTTP POST https://{site_url}/_api/foldercoloring/stampcolor(DecodedUrl=@a1)?@a1=%27%2Fsites%2Fmysite%2FShared%20Documents%2Fmyfolder%27 Accept: "application/json;odata=nometadata" Content-Type: "application/json;odata=nometadata" { "coloringInformation": { "ColorHex": "8" } } ``` > \[note\] Note > The color feature is not supported by Windows yet #### Table of colors | Color | Hex | Int | | ------------ | ------- | --- | | Yellow | #FFCE3C | 0 | | Grey | #B0B7BA | 8 | | Dark red | #E73E29 | 1 | | Light red | #FFBCB2 | 9 | | Dark orange | #EE7110 | 2 | | Light orange | #FFBF84 | 10 | | Dark green | #3F9F4A | 3 | | Light green | #8ED290 | 11 | | Dark teal | #27938E | 4 | | Light teal | #7AD1CD | 12 | | Dark blue | #1E84D0 | 5 | | Light blue | #86C8F7 | 13 | | Dark purple | #9A61C7 | 6 | | Light purple | #D4AFF6 | 14 | | Dark pink | #CC53B4 | 7 | | Light pink | #F7AAE7 | 15 | --- Lists ### Sharing List permission levels Basically, we can share a list with someone else as a reader or editor. But once someone has access as an editor to a list, this one can edit the properties of the list *(e.g. add/remove/rename a list column).* Another permission level exists that allows other people to edit items only (not the list configuration) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-6.png) --- SharePoint ### Accessibility Cohesion Microsoft chose to ensure coherence between the technical and functional text formatting. Previously, when you select "Heading 1", technically behind it was an "H2". Technically, in web rendering, for accessibility, referencing, etc., you can only have one **H1** per web page. ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-13.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-12.png) SharePoint/OneDrive ### Clipchamp is coming to SharePoint and OneDrive Currently available only for personal / Live accounts, Clipchamp will allow you to create and edit your recordings and videos more easily without tierce application, and it will be totally part of your Microsoft 365 environment ❀️ [Clipchamp for Work | Microsoft 365Clipchamp, the new video editor from Microsoft 365, simplifies the task of editing video clips so you can easily create high quality videos at work.![](https://www.microsoft.com/favicon.ico?v2)Microsoft 365![](https://cdn-dynmedia-1.microsoft.com/is/image/microsoftcorp/LinkedIn-29?scl=1)](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/clipchamp-for-work?wt.mc%5Fid=MVP%5F386670&ref=blog.lsonline.fr) --- Lists ### Rating field In the classic UI (legacy), it was possible to show the rating through a SharePoint list once the feature was enabled on the list. Since the Modern UI experience was released, this feature was not compatible with it. It is an old story now because Microsoft Lists supports the Rating list feature πŸ™ŒπŸ€©πŸš€ ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-5.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-7.png) This feature is available by default on modern Team sites, but not for the communication ones. It is currently not possible to enable this feature from the SharePoint UI - it is necessary to enable the feature on the `site`thanks to PnP PowerShell or Microsoft 365 CLI with the ID: `915c240e-a6cc-49b8-8b2c-0bff8b553ed3` --- Teams ### What's new in the new Microsoft Teams Microsoft provides the new feature available in the new Teams experience. Among them, we can notice that if you have VoIP/PSTN configuration, you can finally use the Speed Dial. The other interesting feature, you can choose to use the "Classic" theme. The more important feature is that the new Teams supports app integration πŸ’‘ [What’s new in the new Microsoft Teams - Microsoft SupportFind out what’s new in Microsoft Teams for desktop, web, and mobile.

Even for people who are not technical with SharePoint. **Question**: Okay, but... what is the "schema"? 🀨 **Answer**: The schema is the definition of your list - it includes the fields, the fields format (JSON format), Content Type(s), etc. **Question**: Okay, that sounds great, but can we create a new list from the existing one? πŸ€“ **Answer**: Yes, you can too. The export schema can afford you the possibility to have a backup, to share the configuration with another Tenant (because when creating a list from an existing one, the existing list must be on the same Tenant), for example. ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-10.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-11.png) --- SharePoint ### New SharePoint page sharing experience Previously, you were able to share a SharePoint page from the command bar to Viva Engage (Yammer) or by email. Now, next to the"edit" button, you have new buttons: - Share (on the left) - Share page: share the item/page by sending an email or copying the link - Copy link to the page: copy link for existing access - Send to email - Site access (on the top) You can copy the link to the page from the page details panel too. ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-14.png) SharePoint ### Send a page to Yammer If you have a presentation of any training in your bag that talks about sharing a SharePoint page with Yammer, think about updating the picture and the content because the link to share a SharePoint page with Yammer was renamed Viva Engage. ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/image-2.png) --- SharePoint ### SharePoint Site Collection App Registration Control To connect to a SharePoint site, it is sometimes necessary to connect with something other than a user/password. It is possible to create an *Azure App,* but that can be overkill to access only one site. In a corporate environment, this kind of application to run scripts, for example, is generally refused by the IT admins, and rightly so. One other solution consists of creating a SharePoint app and specifying the scope of the rights of this app. This kind of app can be created by any *site collection admin* of a SharePoint site for the specified SharePoint site (or Tenant when is created by a SharePoint admin). For security measures, registering this kind of app can be created by the SharePoint Site collection admin ONLY if the SharePoint Tenant admin has explicitly authorized it. > \[info\] Important > > By default, the registration will be not authorized. It will be necessary to allow it to the Tenant The command to enable the SharePoint App registration is: ```PowerShell Set-SPOTenant -SiteOwnerManageLegacyServicePrincipalEnabled $true ``` > \[note\] Note > > PnP PowerShell already include the cmdlet [Granting access using SharePoint App-OnlyGranting access using SharePoint App-Only![](https://learn.microsoft.com/favicon.ico)Microsoft LearnVesaJuvonen![](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/media/open-graph-image.png)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/security-apponly-azureacs?wt.mc%5Fid=MVP%5F386670&ref=blog.lsonline.fr) --- OneDrive ### A new way to browse your shared files Currently, from the *Home* and *Shared* files section of OneDrive, you have a search bar that allows you to filter the files by *file name or by person*. A new section from the left navigation allows you to access files by people or by meetings... Browse files by **meetings** is really useful to avoid a search from Teams when you don't remember the meeting, and **people's** view is useful when you know who shared or who is working on a file πŸ€πŸ’‘ ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-21-at-09.19.34.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-21-at-09.36.25.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-21-at-09.36.46.png) ![](https://blog.lsonline.fr/content/images/2023/08/Screenshot-2023-08-21-at-09.36.54.png) ### Hoping this post will help you, see you next month... πŸš€
