Will Modern Pages ever allow "Web Part Connections" (to link related lists)? How about "Filters"?
One of the most powerful and, frankly, underused features in SharePoint (2010 and 2013) was the concept or practice of "connecting" related web parts. We used it ALL the time for things like: A list of Vendors connected to lists of Quotes or Invoices A list of Requests connected to a list of related Log Entries (each step in the request process generates a Log entry) Also, it was helpful for creating "template" pages. For example, we would have a Query String Filter that connected to a bunch of lists on the page, each of which had a common column (e.g.: "Term"). So, when creating a course catalog, we didn't have to build a new page for each term, just use that template page with the right query string in the URL. As slick as the Modern Page experience looks and feels, it seems like they're driving toward the model of creating tons of separate pages rather than a few reusable ones. While creating these pages is easier in the Modern Experience, enforcing consistency between them is pretty much impossible (that's where the idea of a template page really shone). So, since I can't find any chatter about these features/functions whatsoever, I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone else had seen or heard anything. Heck, maybe even someone from the mothership (calling Mark-Kashman or Jeff_Teper) could chime in and let me know if I should just give up hope on ever using Connections or Filter web parts on Modern Pages.Unable to see documents when searching by folders in Modern Document Libraries
Hi everyone, I am seeing some odd behaviour with modern document libraries when you try to search for content stored in folders. Lets say you have the following structure in a document library: Folder named "James" File named "P45" File named "P11D" Folder named "Gary" File named "P45" File named "P11D" Modern Experience: If you do a search in the "Search" box in the top-left corner for the word James then you will see the James folder returned. If you then click into the folder you don't see any documents shown such as the P45 or P11D docs, with a message saying "No items match your query". Classic Experience: If you switch to classic experience and do a search for James in the "Find a File" box, you will see the James folder returned. When you click into the folder you will then see the two files, P45 and P11D. The modern search is appears to be doing a search on items that contain the phrase "James" in the filename or in the document, where as the classic experience is doing more of a filter on the current items being displayed and then allowing you to see the child items in that folder. If you search in a modern experience, you can then see the child documents if you remember to clear your search query from the search box, or if you remember to not press the Enter key at the end of typing your search query and use either the mouse or keyboard to select the folder from the auto-suggestions. If you do choose a folder from the auto-suggestions then this opens in a new tab taking you away from where you were originally working. This has been reported by users and clients as a significant pain in the user experience when searching for content and is causing push back on adoption of SharePoint. Have you guys seen this before?

Here is the the score of browsers to see how much of HTML5 technologies and features they support. In order of highest to lowest. Edge insider Canary Version 79.0.286.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) Highest Score Google Chrome Canary Version 79.0.3924.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit) FireFox version 71.0a1 (2019-09-26) (64-bit) Edge classic (EdgeHTML) Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.18990 Microsoft Edge 44.18990.1.0 Internet explorer 11 version 11.1.18990 Internet Explorer 11 (latest version) obviously has the worst score, but it's the only browser that can manage to get the perfect 100/100 score from Acid3 test among all these browsers tested. the rest of the browsers can only get 97/100. By the way, Acid3 is an old test. https://html5test.com/ http://acid3.acidtests.org/ Comment down below what you think. I for one am hella impressed by Microsoft Edge insider's score!Microsoft is Adding Classic ‘Edge Mode’ to New Edge Browser
Microsoft is developing a new 'Edge Mode' that lets users visit sites using the same rendering engine as Classic Edge to continue using legacy web applications. In the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, users can enable a feature called 'Internet Explorer Mode' that causes the browser to emulate Internet Explorer 11. This mode is designed for organizations that need to utilize web apps that were designed for the legacy browser. When Internet Explorer mode is enabled, the Internet Explorer icon will appear in the address bar and sites that you visit will think you are running Internet Explorer 11. Edge in Internet Explorer Mode If Internet Explorer mode is enabled, the Microsoft Edge Dev and Canary builds have also added a new option called 'Open sites in Edge mode'. While nothing official has been announced about this feature, it will most likely allow the browser to emulate Classic Edge. Open sites in Edge mode To use this feature, an Edge flag named "Enable IE Integration" at edge://flags/#edge-internet-explorer-integration must be set to 'IE Mode'. Enable IE Integration flag Once configured, users can then launch the new Microsoft Edge program with the '--ie-mode-test' command line argument to enable the Internet Explorer mode feature. Launch with --ie-mode-test argument Once that feature is enabled, an additional 'Open sites in Edge mode' option will become available under Options -> More Tools. This new mode does not appear to do anything as of yet. Still being developed This feature is still being developed as can be seen by the browser user-agents being sent when using these emulation modes. When a browser visits a web site, a user-agent string is sent to the web site with each request that can be used to identify the name and version of the browser. This user-agent can then be used by the site to determine what features the browser supports and any code changes that need to be made so that the web site renders properly. Below are the various user-agent strings sent by Microsoft Edge, Classic Edge, and the IE and Edge modes. New Microsoft Edge browser user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4023.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/81.0.396.0 Classic Microsoft Edge user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.19013 Internet Explorer Mode user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko Edge Mode user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4023.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/81.0.396.0 As you can see, when in Internet Explorer Mode the user agent is set to the one used by Internet Explorer 11. Edge Mode, though, still uses the same user-agent as the new Microsoft Edge rather than Classic Edge, which indicates that this feature is still in its infancy and being developed. As with all Microsoft software features, this one may not make it to Release, but based on the availability of IE Mode, we can expect that it will. SourceUse Calibre E-book manager (free) to read your EPUB files
Saw some people wanted to read EPUB files but it is discontinued in Edge classic, and it was a good decision since Edge is a browser, not a E-book reader. it also lacks so many essential features for managing E-book library. so for those of you looking for a free full featured complete software to enjoy your E-books, use Calibre. it supports all major E-book reader devices, E-book formats and many more! https://calibre-ebook.com/ P.S I'm really trying to help people find a great free software to read their Epubs and start doing it right now. without waiting for anyone to develop and create something that is already made by someone else. the point of this topic is to demonstrate some Win32 E-book readers and their features. because in Microsoft's support article, they only said to use Windows store for finding an Epub reader but there isn't anything remotely as good as these programs on Windows store.
Win10 OneDrive app for business shows classic SP site when 'view online'
I've got 2 Office365 accounts - one Enterprise E3, one my person Business Premium. On my Business Premium, if I click on the cloud icon in the task tray and select 'view online', it takes me to https://TENANT-my.sharepoint.com/personal/MYNAMESITE/SitePages/Home.aspx When I click on OneDrive in the Office365 Waffle, it takes me to https://TENANT-my.sharepoint.com/personal/MYNAMESITE/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx , which is where 'view online' is supposed to go. My SharePoint admin settings are to show the new experience. I just noticed this because I'm setting up a new Surface - I rarely go to the OneDrive online view via the client in the task bar, so I've never noticed this. My E3 account works fine - goes to the modern onedrive.aspx page. Any ideas on how to redirect the classic SitePages/Home.aspx back to /_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx ?
