A quick heads-up for anyone managing SharePoint environments 👇 Microsoft is retiring Featured Links on the SharePoint start page, and the timeline has now shifted forward. This retirement (driven by low adoption from Microsoft’s perspective) will roll out from early March through to late June. But here’s the important bit… Just because it’s low adoption globally doesn’t mean your organisation isn’t using it. If you’re a SharePoint admin or site owner relying on Featured Links, you could see disruption when the feature is removed. No warning banners. No dramatic shutdown. It simply retires, and your start page experience changes. 🎥 Watch the full webinar recording to make sure your SharePoint environment is prepared: https://hubs.la/Q045HkCB0 #SharePoint #Microsoft365 #VivaConnections #ITAdmin #DigitalWorkplace #M365 #TechUpdates #ChangeManagement

MCP365 Explorer, Part 2: Work IQ SharePoint. The big picture is becoming clear: Agents 365 Tools is now Work IQ Tools : Microsoft's umbrella for all MCP capabilities in the M365 ecosystem. The servers are being consolidated and rebranded (Work IQ SharePoint, Work IQ Calendar, Work IQ Mail, etc.), and the tooling is maturing fast. The SharePoint server is the most complete one at this point : 35 tools (!) covering sites, lists, columns, items, document libraries, files, folders, sharing, and sensitivity labels. For those of us who have been working with SharePoint for years, this is our great SharePoint now accessible through a standardized protocol. The Explorer's showcase demonstrates three tools chained together: get the current site's document library, create a folder, and upload a file using the PnP React Controls FilePicker — all through MCP calls directly from SPFx. No backend. Blog: https://lnkd.in/es4WK5mZ Code: https://lnkd.in/eaC9xveD #MCP #Microsoft365 #SPFx #SharePoint #WorkIQ #ModelContextProtocol

SharePoint Apps are retiring in weeks. Is your organisation ready?   Many departments still rely on SharePoint Apps for workflows, document tagging, integrations and governance tools that quietly support day to day operations.   When these apps are retired, those functions do not automatically transfer across.   Without preparation, organisations may face broken workflows, lost functionality and gaps in information governance.   Now is the time to understand: ➡️ Where SharePoint Apps are currently being used ➡️ Which processes depend on them ➡️ Whether your information environment is structured to support modern Microsoft 365 governance tools such as Microsoft Purview   This transition is not just technical. It often exposes deeper information management challenges that have built up over time.   We have outlined what this change means, the risks organisations should be aware of, and how to start preparing.

If you're building secure SharePoint solutions, this approach is worth exploring. 🔗 Watch the demo: https://buff.ly/nlG5I5X

Microsoft is officially ending support for several key SharePoint-related technologies on July 14, 2026, including: 🌐 SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 Extended support ends on this date; there will be no further security updates, bug fixes, or Microsoft support. Organizations remaining on-premises will need to plan an upgrade to SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, or consider migrating to SharePoint Online. 🌐 SharePoint 2013 Workflows These workflows will no longer be supported after this date. Organizations should plan to rebuild workflows using Power Automate, as there is no direct migration path. 🌐 InfoPath Forms Services (SharePoint Online) InfoPath Forms Services will be fully retired and removed from SharePoint Online tenants. After this date, InfoPath forms will no longer function. Existing forms must be rebuilt using Power Apps (either customized SharePoint forms or canvas apps). Now is the time to start planning. Not sure where to begin? Reach out to us - we have helped many clients prepare and execute their upgrade strategies. #Microsoft365 #SharePoint #EndOfSupport #ITStrategy #DigitalTransformation
