Adding Ratings to a SharePoint list or library

Have you ever had a list, like perhaps a suggestion list, where you’d like to have some easy way for people to vote on which ones they like or give them a 1 through 5 rating? If you’re working with a SharePoint Teams site, you can do that with the Ratings feature! Here’s how that works…

Removing Activity items in new Microsoft Teams

If you’re like me, you may tend to use your Activity Feed in Teams like a To Do list of items you may need to follow up on. Unfortunately, that feed can get pretty cluttered pretty quickly, and it’d be nice to be able to actually remove items that are done or that aren’t relevant to anything you’re doing. Now you can! Here’s how that works…

Snoozing emails in your browser-based version of Outlook

nd to live in my inbox (don’t judge), and it’s a bit irritating when you get an email that you need to act on, but not for a period of time… and it just sits in your inbox until then. Sandra Mahan showed me a better way to deal with that… Snooze! It’s possible to use the Snooze function to set a future date to have the email show back up in your inbox, and you can ignore it until then. Here’s how it works…

Saved For Later web part for SharePoint Online

Of course, whether you actually get back to reading them is a different matter… The Saved For Later web part is a great way to flag content for later reading, and have it displayed back to you in an easy to read manner. Here’s how it works…

Removing all the filters on an Excel spreadsheet

If you have a spreadsheet that has a lot of column filters set, it can be laborious (and probably error-prone) to try and delete all the filters one at a time. But by using the CTRL – SHIFT – L keyboard shortcut, you can turn them all off at once. Here’s an example…

Editing your video transcript in Microsoft Stream

This tip is the result of someone asking me yesterday whether they could edit a transcript once a video had been uploaded to Microsoft Stream. My initial thought was either “no” or “you can upload your own”, but then I hit the interwebs for some research. Much to my surprise, you *can* edit a video transcript, and it’s pretty easy!

Using your Activity Stream in Microsoft Teams

If you belong to a number of Microsoft Team workspaces, it can be a little overwhelming to keep track of all the conversations and activities going on in every one of the Teams you are part of. However, you can use the Activity Stream and the associated filter to make it easier to see just the items that are most important to you at that point in time. Here’s how that works…
