Learning new Microsoft Office tricks in "just a minute"
When you’re creating modern web pages in SharePoint Online, you have a number of options to have your page be customized to the person who is viewing it. One of those options is the Recent Documents web part, which shows the recent documents updated by the current user. Here’s how it works…
Microsoft recently rolled out some changes that allow you some flexibility in the header layout of your SharePoint Online site. These changes give you the option to conserve space or add more color and flair to your site header. Here’s how it works…
On many websites that use images, you can click on the image to have it “pop out” over the webpage, displaying a larger image that’s easier to read. SharePoint Online pages now support this Lightbox feature when you put an image on a page using the Image web part. Here’s how it works…
One of the great things about SharePoint Online lists and libraries is the concept of versioning. Every time you save a copy of the item, a new version is created.

The SharePoint Tab in a Microsoft Teams workspace now allows you to show lists and libraries of SharePoint sites in addition to individual pages. Here’s how that works…
The Quick Links web part on a SharePoint Online page is a great way to share a number of relevant link in a compact space. However, you may not always want everyone to see every link in the web part. Now you can use Audience Targeting within the Quick Links web part to filter out who sees what links on the page. Here’s how it works…
One of the common requests we get on the SharePoint team is whether or not someone can get site usage statistics for their SharePoint site. My usual answer is a qualified “yes”, as they normally want something more detailed than what SharePoint provides. I hope that someday the site usage data becomes more detailed, but until then, here’s what we have and how it works…
