Learning new Microsoft Office tricks in "just a minute"
If you struggle with coming up with nice layouts on your SharePoint Pages, the new Design Ideas feature will be of interest to you. It can help you come up with design options that you may not have thought of (or like me, are incapable of). Here’s how that works…
A new change is now available when it comes to versioning in SharePoint document libraries. It used to be that you could only control the number of versions you kept. Now you can also add a time-based element to your versioning. This is what it looks like and how it looks…
