Figma Variables and new components available (v3.0.0) in the SharePoint Web UI Kit
Our SharePoint Web UI Kit in Figma has been updated with some great new additions! This update includes the exciting addition of Figma Variables and more components so you have more options when designing your SharePoint sites and pages.
What’s new in v3.0.0
Introduced Figma Variables for color, size, spacing, corner radius, and stroke width
Added new components: Site activity web part, Content pane
What’s updated in v3.0.0
Themes and background colors can now be switched using modes
Removed dark background variants from all components
Re-factored components and bug fixes
Updated documentation on using Figma Variables effectively
To get started with our updated UI kit, simply download the latest version from the Figma Microsoft Community website: SharePoint Web UI Kit – Figma.
Also, in case you missed it, watch our “Introduction to the SharePoint Web UI Kit” video on YouTube to watch a demo walking through how to use the SharePoint Web UI Kit yourself.
Why use the Figma SharePoint Web UI kit?
Figma is a subscription-based application that is the industry standard tool for web design. It provides an alternative to designing sites and pages outside of SharePoint. Figma does not build the pages in SharePoint, so once you finalize a design in Figma, you will need to build it in SharePoint. You should evaluate if Figma is the right solution for mocking up sites and pages for SharePoint.
Design without organizational limitations
This UI kit provides SharePoint users with another tool in their toolbox. While building a page in SharePoint is easy, we wanted to provide the ability to mockup sites and pages. It allows you to explore different design options for your site without the limitation of admin privileges and tenant restrictions, and doesn’t expose organization data.
Figma mockups provide a quick snapshot of SharePoint updates which business stakeholders can use to plan and make decisions. They can provide appropriate requirements and use this UI kit in collaboration with their design team to iterate in the life cycle of your organization’s intranet.
Share designs with ease
This UI kit provides you with page layouts and a selection of web parts to allow you to mockup and share new ideas across organizations and companies. Figma gives you the flexibility of reviewing and sharing your designs without having to spend time and resources creating it in SharePoint. Figma also allows you to download your designs into easy-to-use formats that can be used in documentation and presentations.
Learn more at https://www.figma.com/
Community feedback
Please tell us what’s missing, what doesn’t work for you, and where your biggest challenges are by leaving a comment on the Figma SharePoint Web UI kit page or by visiting the SharePoint Community.
We hope you enjoy our latest update and look forward to seeing what you create with it!

Copilot for Microsoft 365 now supports Traditional Chinese
In our Tech Community blog dated April 29th, 2024 we announced 16 new supported languages for Copilot for Microsoft 365. We also announced the availability of Traditional Chinese but stopped short of offering full support while we worked out some known issues. Today, we’re pleased to announce that traditional Chinese now meets our quality standards and we are formally adding it to the list of supported languages.
Administrators and users are not required to take any actions to use Traditional Chinese with Copilot for Microsoft 365. We are continuously refining responses in every language we support and are looking forward to adding support for even more languages in the coming months.
Did you know? The Microsoft 365 Roadmap is where you can get the latest updates on productivity apps and intelligent cloud services. Check back regularly to see what features are in development or coming soon

Auto populate trendline variables into specified spreadsheet cells
I’ve created a couple of graphs and created trendlines to determine R^2, slope and intersect values. Is there a way of automatically transcribing those values into defined spreadsheet cells rather than manually doing it?

LookUp column shows up as [object Object] for single column in board view
Hi,
I have seen similar questions from this topic, but I couldn’t really apply to my problem.
I have a SharePoint list which one of the lookup columns retrieves data from another list.
This new column [Evaluated Property] allows multiple selection from the LookUp column it originates from.
When viewed in list mode, the multiple selection LookUp columns results are visible (1st picture).
However, when I create a board view, I get [object Object],[object Object].
I figure from other threads here in the discussion group that this can be solved using a JSON custom formatting. However, this did not seem to work. I am unsure how should I do this formatting since I am not familiar with JSON coding.
Did anyone face this same issue and could suggest me how to handle this?
Regards,
Lucca

Exchange Hybrid Configuration Wizard error – root element is missing when connecting to 365
Hi Exchange Brain trust,
I have an Exchange 2016 environment where I recently joined a Exchange 2019 server to move everything and eventually decommission 2016 server. Everything is configured manually to match what we currently have in 2016 server – configuration wise, they both are identical now. We don’t have any mailbox on-prem. Its just being used for administration and SMTP relay.
The question is, do we still have to run Hybrid Config Wizard ? The reason I’m asking is, I’m stuck on the following stage with an error I pulled my hair off for hours trying to figure the root cause. Connectivity is all working well.
Any idea would be really appreciated !

What do sign-in logs to Azure AD Identity Governance – Entitlement Management tell me
BLUF: I’m seeing a few user accounts (members and guests) that are showing up in sign in activity to Azure AD Identity Governance – Entitlement Management…but most other user accounts (members and guests) do not show up with sign-ins against that app, why would I be seeing sign-in logs for that, and what exactly am I seeing?
We have about 50 internal users (members) and 500 external users (guests)…out of those typical sign-ins I mostly see then within the apps that they are utilizing, however there are a few user accounts (members and guests) where I’m seeing sign-in logs specifically to the application name = Azure AD Identity Governance – Entitlement Management. We do have 100+ apps in which we have setup access packages for external users, but I haven’t seen any other sign in activity to apps that they haven’t been given permission to access, this seemed to have started around first of June 2024. I’m just curious as to what I’m actually seeing when I see a user sign-in log showing up for Application = Azure AD Identity Governance – Entitlement Management.

Get the most out of any Teams Rooms meeting with speaker recognition and Copilot
AI-powered speaker recognition technology has now expanded to all Teams Rooms on Windows devices, regardless of the microphone type. This was previously only available with intelligent speaker equipment in the room. Now any Teams Room on Windows can enhance meeting experiences with precise speaker attribution and intelligent insights from Copilot. Everyone can be recognized and get the most from Copilot with our cloud technology, Teams Rooms devices such as Surface Hub 3, and other devices certified from partners.
Microsoft’s intelligent speaker recognition analyzes the distinct vocal characteristics of each speaker, such as pitch, tone, and speaking style. We think of it as a voiceprint for each participant, akin to a fingerprint for their voice.
There are several benefits to enrolling your voice to enable speaker recognition. Background noise is suppressed so that calls and meetings are easier to hear with noise suppression using voice isolation. Intelligent recap and Copilot are enabled because speakers in meetings are identified and whatever they say is attributed to them in the transcript.
In a hybrid meeting without speaker recognition, the video and audio feeds of participants in the room are assigned to the location (e.g., Conf room 1245) rather than each speaker. This makes it difficult to identify individuals’ contributions, summarize everyone’s perspectives, or address action items.
With speaker recognition, Teams Rooms can identify speakers during live transcription in shared meeting rooms, ensuring clear and precise voice capture for every participant. This allows you to effortlessly track who said what during the meeting through the meeting transcript and to enable intelligent meeting recap and Copilot.
Getting started is easy for IT and individual users
Identifying each speaker is a crucial input for Copilot in Teams. It utilizes the meeting transcript so it can deliver summaries, insights, and action items. End users can easily create a voice profile in the Teams desktop. Go to aka.ms/voiceprofile to quickly set it up.
For organizations, an IT admin needs to enable voice enrollment using Teams meeting policy and PowerShell scripts. For admins to enable an organization’s users and Teams Rooms, there are three easy steps:
Connect to Teams PowerShell
connect-MicrosoftTeams
Enable speaker recognition for the Teams meeting policy that is assigned to your Rooms
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity MTRRoomsUS -roomAttributeUserOverride Attribute-AllowTranscription $true
Enable enrollment for the Teams meeting policy that is assigned to your users
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity USUsers -EnrollUserOverride Enabled -AllowTranscription $true
Note: Please replace “-Identity MTRRoomsUS and USUsers” with the correct policy names for which you want to enable this feature. Alternatively, you can use the Global policy.
Get the information and enrollment scripts you need to enable voice profiles, speaker recognition, and the intelligence of Copilot in your organization at Overview of voice and face enrollment – Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.
Even if you are still waiting for approval to use voice and face enrollment, you can turn it on now for the Teams Rooms you have. This will immediately distinguish individuals from the room and help users get the most out of intelligent recaps and Copilot.
Biometric profile security you can count on
We know security and privacy is of the utmost importance for organizations. Microsoft takes our commitment to ensure data security, including biometric profiles, very seriously.
The voice and face data for users is encrypted at rest and in transit and is protected by Microsoft’s security and privacy policies and practices. The voice and face data for users is stored in the same region as their Microsoft Teams data and storage is GDPR compliant. Users can unenroll their voice or face profile at any time. Profiles are automatically deleted when a Teams account is deleted or if not used for one year. Learn more about data handling and retention practices here.
Get started today
We are excited to make this cloud-powered feature available now for all existing microphones first on Teams Rooms on Windows. Later this year, the feature will expand to Teams desktop for bring your own device (BYOD) meeting spaces. Teams Rooms on Android devices will follow in 2025.
While we’re delighted to extend the capability of speaker recognition to more rooms, it’s important to note that the quality may not match that of an intelligent speaker device. Intelligent speakers are designed with multiple microphones to provide high-quality audio, maximizing accuracy in recognition and transcription and boasting an industry-leading reduction of word error rate. In rooms where top-quality transcription and attribution are imperative, it’s worth it to assess the benefits of integrating intelligent speaker hardware certified for Teams. Find devices certified for Teams at aka.ms/teamsdevices.

Unified Security Operation Sentinel Vs Defender Tables
I have a question regarding the Unified SOC portal. In the session below, they highlighted one advantage: the ability to use Defender and Sentinel Tables together. However, both the SignInLogs and DeviceLogonEvents tables are already accessible in Sentinel through the Defender connector.
