The latest release of PnPjs contains 4 new methods. They allow you to copy and move, files and folders, to a different folder on the same or a different site collection. And they are incredibly fast!

On the 1st of September, I opened my inbox and found a very pleasant surprise. I had received the Microsoft MVP for Office Development award!
This post covers some of the things that led to the MVP award and also some personal thoughts about the MVP award program. Please note that this is only my own opinion, I don’t know the award criteria. Hope you find the post interesting.

This is just one of those blog posts where there is no “rocket science” if you use the right tools. And the reason why I’m writing it is to just show how easy it is. All it takes is one line of PowerShell to copy all terms in a term set to the clipboard.
Of course there is a lot of “rocket science” here. But it’s inside PnP PowerShell and we don’t need to worry about it!
Did you ever wanted to quickly delete all items from a SharePoint list without having to run into complex scenarios?
This can be simply achieved using PnP Powershell (obviously!). And it fits in a single line!
When creating SPFx solutions, you will sometimes require base64-encoded images. A common scenario is when you create a ListView Command Set extension. And then you look at Office UI Fabric Icons and think how nice it would be if you could easily get the images as base64-encoded strings to use on SPFx solutions.

A few days ago, I was trying to set some managed metadata fields in a SharePoint library using the Set-PnPListItem command – which is greatly documented.
But having worked with SharePoint for quite a few years, I immediately noticed that the examples in documentation for managed metadata fields did not contain the exception case for terms with the ‘&’ character in the label. I had to deal with this case multiple times before, so writing this blog post to hopefully save some time in the future.
Ever wondered how to add SharePoint Framework web parts from different solutions to your local workbench while developing on localhost? Then look no further 🙂
Even though this may not be a common requirement for everyone, there are cases where it could be handy to have different web parts running on the local workbench that belong to different solutions.

You can configure default values on a SharePoint library (root folder) or library folder fields. For example, if you configure default values in a folder, documents added to that folder will automatically inherit those field values. This functionality is great when you have a project that heavily relies on metadata. Especially if metadata should be inherited through multiple levels of information.

I recently published a blog post about a web part that I use on the workbench page during development. I have this solution deployed on my dev tenant and simply add it to the bottom of the Workbench page. It allows me to work around some workbench limitations when building the UI of SPFx web parts.

When trying to edit the Featured links on the default SharePoint home page, you may end up getting the following error. And guess what? Trying again later didn’t really work…
But don’t worry, this is SharePoint and a lot of things are stored in lists. A hidden list, in this case.
