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…
New SharePoint Online lists and libraries have versioning turned on by default
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. If necessary, you can go back to a prior version and make that the most current version. It used to be that versioning was not turned on by default, and you usually discovered that when you needed to recover something and it was too late. Now, SharePoint Online lists and libraries have versioning turned on by default. Here’s what that looks like…
Maximum file size for OneDrive and SharePoint Online is now 250 GB

Moving and copying files in OneDrive and Microsoft Teams
If you’re using OneDrive to create documents and files before you’re ready to share them with a larger audience… great job! Now that your document is ready to be shared, you can use the built-in Move and Copy options to get that file out to a SharePoint site without any hassles. Here’s how that works…

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…
Starting an instant Microsoft Teams meeting with Outlook’s Meet Now button
To make it easier to start an instant meeting in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft added a Meet Now option in the Teams client some time back. However, if you still live your life in the Outlook client, you had to do some major context switching to get a meeting started. Now you can click on the Meet Now option in your Outlook client calendar, and a new Teams meeting will start up. Here’s how that works…
Meeting Reactions in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams has now provided a way to give visual feedback during a meeting with the use of Meeting Reactions. It’s a quick way to express (and gauge) the feelings and emotions of the audience while you’re presenting. Here’s how it works…
Audience Targeting in the Quick Links Web Part
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…
The History Menu in Microsoft Teams
If you spend most of your day in Microsoft Teams, you know how difficult it is to bounce back and forth between various teams, apps, tabs, and so forth. If you have to go to a new workspace, you then have to try and figure out where you were before. Microsoft has now made it easier to get back and forth between areas by giving you a History Menu in the upper-left corner of the Teams client, much like the forward and backward buttons in a browser. Here’s how it works…
