Updated Location Not Sent to Customer
In our office, we have a Public Bookings page where students can book appointments with our professional Advisors. Depending on who the student should meet with, our administrative staff will update the Booking with their unique location. For over a year, the customer would receive an email update as the locations were changed.
However, in the past few months we have noticed that our Customers (students) have not been receiving an email notifying them of the updated Booking Location. I have double checked our settings, which have not changed. Is there something we should do to fix this? Or is this a known bug in the system or a new update that this no longer happens?

Advice/Guidelines for launching new modern site to replace company intranet?
Hi everyone!
I’m looking for any advice, guidelines, best practices, experiences, etc. on updating our company intranet. When I started working here 7 years ago, we were using classic SharePoint and our company Intranet home page/site was built in a classic site. The path for this site is also our tenant: companyname.sharepoint.com.
I want to launch a brand-new modern site I have created and want to reuse/point the tenant name/original intranet site URL to show this new modern site. And I honestly don’t know how to go about doing this so I don’t break a bunch of stuff. I self-taught myself so much as it pertains to SharePoint that I just want to make sure that I’m doing this correctly.
Is it as simple as renaming the current site with something different and then taking the current name and giving it to the new, modern site? I know a ton of our users have bookmarks saved and I don’t want to break any of those.
Any help/advice/guidance you can provide is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Beth

Using Files with Copilot
I am relatively new to the Microsoft 365 license for Copilot but I have quite a bit of training on ChatGPT 4, which, I believe, is the engine behind Copilot. When I tried to upload a file by clicking on the paperclip icon, I got a very limited list of files to choose from, rather than the ability to browse for any file that I had. After playing around for a while and opening, closing and moving some files, the file I wanted finally appeared on the list. This is very limiting.
As I said, I am new at this version of Copilot and it may just be a setting that I missed and need to adjust. Is anyone else experiencing the same?

Interactivity
I have successfully added some Interactivity Call Outs to a video. I was able to add them and customize them. When I download the video, the call outs were not in the video. How do I embed them so that they are not lost when downloaded.

sharepoint online DisableCompanyWideSharingLinks
reposting Igor’s question here as per MSFT’s suggestion :
“How can I disable the ‘Share with entire organization’ option globally for OneDrive and SharePoint in Microsoft 365? I’ve examined the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/solutions/microsoft-365-limit-sharing?view=o365-worldwide#sharing-with-specific-people and discovered PowerShell commands such as ‘Set-SPOSite -Identity https://contoso.sharepoint.com -DisableCompanyWideSharingLinks Disabled’ for SharePoint sites and ‘Set-SPOSite -Identity https://contoso-my.sharepoint.com/personal/my_alias_contoso_com -DisableCompanyWideSharingLinks Disabled’ for OneDrives. The challenge is executing these commands for each site and user in our environment. Is there a method to apply this globally across the entire organization?”

Pressing Cancel When IKEv2 VPN is Connecting Locks Up Notification Icons
Hello,
I’m getting ready to roll out IKEv2 VPN to my company. We found that if you cancel, right after you push the connect button, it locks up the notification icons in the task bar. On our laptops you can left-click as many times as you want on the network/sound/power icons and settings menu will not pop-up again. You are able to right-click on the icons and go to the various settings, but to get the hovering menu to show again you need to restart Windows Explorer in task manager. I have verified this issue on multiple Dell and Lenovo laptops.

Send copies of team emails and events to team members inboxes doesn’t work
Send copies of team emails and events to team members inboxes will not stay checked.
Admin – Exchange – Groups – Select Group – Settings:
Send copies of team emails and events to team members inboxes is blank, I check it and save. It shows saved. I go back into it, it is unchecked.
I’m sure there is a Powershell solution but I need this working for basic techs who don’t have PS access.
Thanks

I need a way to remind people they have things waiting for them in Teams.
I’m not sure what to do about this situation. Some of the Power Automate workflows I’ve built require a person to review items and fill out forms. Some of them also include assignments in Planner. I’ve an email notification to alert people to check Teams for the messages but people are complaining it’s too hard or they can’t find them. However, when I log into their account I can find the prompt without a problem.
I need some way to bang people over the head that they have things waiting for their input.

Excel Formula No longer working (PC)
I’ve been using a simple formula to track my bank balance for years. Suddenly this simple addition and subtraction formula is no longer working on line 1934. Result is “#VALUE” instead of the calculation.
I thought that I might have exceeded the number of usable lines in a single worksheet so I made a copy and tried deleting all but the last 300 or so lines. Same result. How do I fix this?

Adding additional condition to Cell Formula
I am using the following to convert a value to a negative number from cell (E2) into a new cell (D2) when cell (I2) equals “Discover” and it works fine. But I want to add an exception to not convert to negative into (D2) if another cell (J2) value has(equals) “Payment”. If it does equal “Payment” just Set (D2) to (E2).
For a cell D2 I am using the following with success:
=IF(I2=”Discover”,(E2*(0-1)),E2)
Now I want to add another condition(or exception) to the above: Even if I2 is “Discover” but cell J2 has “Payment” then just set D2 to E2 (even when (I2) is “Discover”
Appreciate any tips, Thank You
