SharePoint Alerts Are Retiring - Here's What You Need to Know Microsoft is officially phasing out SharePoint Alerts in SharePoint Online, with a rollout starting July 2025 and wrapping up by July 2026. If your team relies on alerts for file uploads or list updates, it’s time to plan your transition. Why the change? ➡️ Legacy tech doesn’t align with modern Microsoft 365 architecture. ➡️Limited security and customization. ➡️Better tools like Power Automate and Copilot now exist. What to use instead? ❇️ Power Automate lets you build intelligent workflows: ❇️Get notified when files are added. ❇️Receive weekly digests from SharePoint lists. ❇️Customize notifications via email, Teams, or mobile. Looking ahead: Microsoft 365 Copilot Agents will soon offer proactive summaries and alerts - no manual setup needed. Changes can be inconvenient. But the new tools offer more control, flexibility, and automation. Once you switch, you might not miss the old alerts at all. If you're navigating this transition, now’s the time to explore training and templates to make the move smoother. #HexaCorp #SharePoint #Microsoft365 #PowerAutomate #DigitalTransformation #Copilot #Automation #WorkplaceTech #ChangeManagement

🚨 Tenant Renaming – What It Means for SharePoint & OneDrive Microsoft has introduced tenant renaming, giving organizations the ability to change their tenant name (the “.onmicrosoft.com” part) — something admins have been requesting for years. While this feature is powerful, it’s important to understand how it impacts SharePoint and OneDrive: 🔹 SharePoint URLs: All site URLs that include your old tenant name will be updated automatically. However, large environments may experience temporary delays as Microsoft processes the renaming in the background. 🔹 OneDrive URLs: Each user’s OneDrive URL will also change to reflect the new tenant name. Sync clients and shortcuts might need reauthentication after the rename. 🔹 Impact on Integrations: Any custom apps, Power Automate flows, or scripts that reference old SharePoint/OneDrive URLs will need updates. Hardcoded links will break if not modified. 🔹 User Experience: End users may notice brief downtime or sync interruptions. Communication and preparation are key — inform your users before proceeding. ✅ Pro tip: Before initiating the rename, perform a full impact assessment across SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Power Platform, and third-party integrations. This is a big step toward more flexible identity management — but it requires careful planning to ensure a smooth transition. #Microsoft365 #SharePoint #OneDrive #TenantRenaming #MicrosoftTeams #M365Admin C1st Services C1st Technologies Kent Fagan Tony H.
