Download recurrent invite from http://aka.ms/spdev-sig-call. More details on the SharePoint Dev community from http://aka.ms/sppnp.

A

Welcome everybody: this is the SharePoint patterns and practices generalship on development. Special interest groups are basically everything. What is not chiffon framework to be glaze being discussed in here, which is a really broad topic, so that falls on the category of actually move forward. That falls on the category of printing page layouts content experiences in the sample solutions. We could talk about those things in here or probably not patchwork will have nightmares after Docs, but everything will not talk about so much everything.

A

What is not about chiffon framework is targeted to be discussed in here, so we do have two different communities. Special interest group calls one is for SharePoint framework and JavaScript development, and this is this is all the other topics. On top of these two special interest groups, which are meeting by weekly on Thursdays on well, basically or one once a week on Thursdays from 7:00 a.m. Pacific time, we also do have a monthly community call which is again coming on next week. So next week, we'll have actually two community costs to follow up on.

A

You can choose if you want to join based on the agenda. I'm going to show the agenda for next Tuesday today and or then you can watch the recordings afterwards from the YouTube channel, so everything is recorded. Everything is available in a YouTube within typically in 24 hours, after the recording in slightly depends, but right now, because we are working from home now traveling, it will be there in 24 hours now a kms well you've seen those at Rosie's I'm, going to mention some of those in a second now on this course.

A

If you're interested on participating with the community and there's a few different options, we repeat this in every single call: you're able to demo a solution or a technical pattern. I do have you as such essence in in my pipeline in linkit and a few other channels, so I will follow up on those later I do apologize on. It's been a the the the craziness didn't stop in McKnight, so it's been a pretty crazy week this week as well, so turn to catch up on my emails and and the connections.

A

But if you are interested, you don't have to be an MVP, you can be an MVP. You can be at random community person, you have a sample, you have a story, you have a solution, you have pattern, you want to demonstrate that just being us and we'll catch you scheduled for this course and- and you can then demonstrate what have you done or what have you learned, because the really the key value of this course is to see stuff live. What other people are doing? That's the easiest way to learn stuff is to see.

A

Oh, that's a really cool thing and that what patrick has done or what Dalene has done, or whatever other person has done. You can absolutely contribute in github as well. That means contributing samples contributing our documentation. All of that we are working on an updated set of videos which will show you the easiest way to dock contributing Catan. If you're not super familiar with the kid platform, it is actually really easy to do after you get the basics and please provide also feedback.

A

Also providing feedback in the in the kids are providing feed, but in the social media you can always bring us in Twitter and Facebook and whatever well. Facebook is not really the the work-related stuff, but at least in Twitter and other channels as well and we'll collect your feedback for the benefit of the shipment development.

A

Now that's actually a kid yeah, so react craft personal email by the way is a really new sample which came out earlier today earlier this week, which shows how to do a personal email report that was demonstrated in the craft webcast, which we did together with waldek or released with together with Waldeck to literally yesterday. So if you're not following up on that, and please have a look on the dev blog for latest guidance, now, let's actually get down to today's agenda.

A

So today's agenda, a few random slides, obviously like I, always do there's certain sites which we always keep on this presentation as few news as well. I will also reveal the next week's monthly community college Center. We have actually cool stuff cover, tear as well and then we'll kind of have a dis question on the Ignite 2018 developer announcements. This will be a relatively short one, so I'm.

A

What I'm talking to is me talking until half past that includes the announcements and ignite discussion and hopefully obviously having a discussion in our window or reacting on what I window and then on the second half, we will have Burt Johnson, showing modernization scanner and how to start your journey on adapting the modern SharePoint experiences. This is really really cool stuff.

A

It will help you to understand how easily or you or your customers, to understand how you allocate day or you can transform to use modern experience in SharePoint, and then we have Patrick Rodgers, who is actually technically well used for my SharePoint cut team I, don't know what what we're gonna call your team perfect nowadays, but you are looking into getting feedback around the first rack open-source program, so there's some cool tooling available from that side as well now.

A

So let's talk about that one at the later part of the call no targeted to finish at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time today, let's get on going so, let's quickly, a few typical slides which are getting here just an updated number as well, so SharePoint developer documentation. We are keep on evolving these all the time and there will be new content here on a weekly basis. On September we had eight thousand eight hundred thousand and eighty four eight hundred eighty-four thousand views in this one.

A

So quite a lot of people are luckily finding these things already and that's so please come in here. There is, for example, there is an article which is explaining what is the supported version of SharePoint framework for SharePoint 2019 and how it will be and how you can actually start using that SharePoint 2019 I'm, just reacting on the window, Chevonne 2019 will support technically SharePoint framework.

A

One point four or one point four point: one: the the reason why we say one point not directly one point four point: one is that one point four point: one actually has Microsoft graph API sand. Obviously those are not available in on-prem, so you might say that SharePoint 2019 will support SharePoint framework. One point four point, one except the graphic the ice, and that would be a right way of putting that now.

A

Other topics are quickly announcements on things so running enduring issues we are working on getting catching up on the issue as we do to apologize. We've been kind of a slightly delay or we've been haven't, been able to catch up on all of the items which are getting updated so we'll there. We have scheduled additional sessions to really do the triaging of this. If there's any critical things feel free to bring us critical thing means that something is fundamentally broken, so some API is suddenly completely not working or an SPF.

A

X webparts are breaking up randomly. So please, please, please bring us directly if that happens, and we can help you ASAP now.

A

Okay, some new news. This one was announced earlier today and I do apologize. This is mainly for MVPs I, know that there's quite a few MVPs in this call as well and watching the videos, but we are opening up the chiffon developer blog for MVP articles. So this is a new thing. If you go to the SharePoint developer blog, you can actually find an article related on the rules and how the process actually works.

A

In short, if your animate be- and you want to have an exposure for two hundred and thirty thousand subscribers in Twitter, you can write an article in the and submit that to be reviewed and if it's review- and it will be reviewed by our community engagement team, which will then basically give you feedback or approve the article to get released in the SharePoint dev blog and after it has been released, it will be scheduled to get out once a week, well get it out and we were planning to release one item in a week.

A

So one MVP article in a week depending on the demand. So it might be that if there will be two articles in a week who knows, but it really depends on how many articles we are getting some minutes towards this process. But what we want to do is basically give everybody a channel. Well, not everybody.

A

We do apologize on that, giving an MVP as a channel to reach out for a broader audience which, because it might be that if your new MVP is people are not aware who you are what you do, or so you get more additional exposure right now. This is only going VPS with your pologize and that one. If there is a demand and things work properly, we can absolutely open up this one for other community members as well, but we need to be careful also on not let's say submitting too much content.

A

So if there's way to minister to me, we can't handle this and then that's. Why we're being trying to be careful on not opening up this one for everybody from day. One now and thank you by the way Stephen on on the RSS link by the way on the are assisting the RSS on the SharePoint. Deaf block is not yet filtering based on categories or, if you go to that, RSS link with Stephen actually put it in I window.

A

It actually lists all of the plot posts in the whole developer platform program, so that will include Microsoft graph, blog post and for other blog posts as well. So that's why we haven't actually publicly shared that URL, yet it's kind of a cute thing, on the other hand, not necessarily good thing if you're not interested about planner development. Well, if you are, that might be a good thing anyway, under topics so quickly.

A

Next week we will have the monthly community course or the October monthly community core, where we then acknowledge all of the people who've been contributing and during last month, so basically, companies and people who've been contributing to all of our open source initiatives in the SharePoint development sign will also have to kind of really cool topics to go through so Pat Miller who's. An ink engineering manager responsible of SharePoint framework experiences will be in this call to do additional demos around the SharePoint framework.

A

1.7 we're going to talk about those additional things as well and then Sean squares is once again in a call talking about the branding and side script announcements from ignite to 2018. So there was quite a few announcements related on printing we're going to talk about some of those today, I'm not going to do a live demo, so I do apologize, but sean is gonna. Then do live demos and on Tuesday on some of that stuff.

A

I can't promise demo, which demos but some demos around the branding outside design capabilities, so pretty cool set up, 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday next Tuesday and akms SPF call is really the URL to access and you can download the ICM, which is a recurrent invited now, let's actually get to the actual roadmap and announcements in in the ignite. So what I'm gonna do here is that there's this is gonna, be a long monologue, I'm gonna watch on Diane window. If there's any questions, I'm trying to jump on them, but what I'm?

A

Trying to do is is pinpoint areas and topics which would be relevant for developer audience in the specific areas and despite a few slides, which we world culture but I'm, trying to really walk through and give you an idea of the investments in the porter development area, which will be available for you to take advantage in SharePoint Online. So obviously, from a shipment framework perspective. We talked about already in past what will be included in 1.7.

A

We updated the official ETA by end of this year, we're targeting still to get to 1.7 out actually by end of October, but if it will be delayed on on early November, that might happen depending on documentation and and fine-tuning of the often yes user throttling, and that's apparently everything within this course right now. I really don't know.

A

I really don't know, okay anyway, so moving on things, so so obviously I'm not sure where we actually was left off but domain as well at the fit parts you're able to isolate your web part, which is running on a page from a security perspective. We showed that one in ignite the ignite, video I- think it's not yet, unfortunately available. There was a small accident around that decision, but the new recording is is available and modified. Recording is available soon. Dynamic data GA means the web part webpart connections.

A

These subscriptions means that you can with few lines of code, you are able to basically say if there's any modifications within this list or library and notify me in a web part directly. So they say it's a socket, IO thingy, basically and without any other subscription or any additional things, SPF X components in teams. So you write a one web part. It actually works as a teams that as well. There is no really additional level of code even needed, so super cool stuff.

A

That's going to go to preview in 1.7, supporting provider hosted solutions, it's a pretty vague statement, but what it actually means is that the the team's application, so the team solutions, provider, heritage solutions will work, also a SharePoint site and and then obviously, at some point, we need to the SharePoint provider, hosted adding model with the team's provider hosted solutions model. At some point and and no pressure there, no kind of don't now be fully shocked on no, no don't do anything. No! No.

A

We know we will kind of make this a one step at a time transition so or transition, or an alignment making sure that the teams probably hosted solutions and the classic provider hosted. Add-Ins is aligned between each other and then update is to say a pages well page functionality which most likely will actually going to show also in a monthly community. Cope with, did show that last week, last Thursday in the SPF x call as well so under stuff.

A

Actually we're going to talk about a in the following slide, so let me actually get in here so when I did for the following slides yesterday is that uh-oh Vincent is asking? Will you merge the authentication authorization models for doing that? Yes, we're looking into doing some changes there, but it's it's a promise of the future. So to say, we've been telling about the authorization or authorization model changes already for quite a few years.

A

Actually- and there are certain- let's say- challenges around that- because SharePoint permissions SharePoint is the OAuth based permission model and assure a de as an example is again a slightly different authentication model and natural ad doesn't give you a specific scopes and a site collection level, and all of that, so we need to still figure out what this all means in a practice, but alignment alignment alignment is really dancer now concentrating.

A

Roadmap, easy so releasing now document templates. So this is not really at development topic. Obviously you can automate some of that stuff. All of the API documentation. We need to update on that one as well all the content, title labeling by end of 2018, not that much kind of a developer, related topics, but there's there's some cool things like the location column, your adult being addressed those things and present images, sorry Maps around the location and a few other things and then first half of 2019 powers, a PowerPoint slide, reuse.

A

Naturally, a developer table Akira flow triggers central asset library, that's kind of a cool thing, so you can have a one centralized, company-wide location for all of the images. I don't have to copy the image, so every single site collection, you can have a one centralized location for centrist images and that's a cool thing now. What's really cool on around the ECM and really kind of the D development topic is the updates for the taxonomy ap is and I'm in progress of actually or in progress of now trying to figure out.

A

How do we land this? Where do we land this at the documentation, guidance and timing and precise timing? But what we're looking to do is have a proper taxonomy API, so you're able to have then create, create and modify the groups and terms and terms that's using a REST API like it should be right.

A

Now we expose these settings using a seasoned, but we don't actually expose those settings using REST API and that's a really a bummer, so we're looking into getting that one and modifying and then on top of the mind, that's really a huge amount of developer topics there as well, so a lot of kind of a movement on ECM site or content management site, but I would say that the main really big thing from a developer perspective is to taxonomy yep updates on a taxonomy API.

A

Is there is an ongoing this question related on the content hub discussion? How do we replicate the content? Types between the site collections, the classic content hub, isn't really performant enough. So there are performance issues related on that one. So we need to figure out how to do that in future. But all of this this is moving forward and it is getting additional love from the engineering side, which is a good thing, because it is a big thing for us as well. In SharePoint. Now.

A

Good point, by the way from a Patrick, so patrick has say, the BMSB p.m. PJs has actually a really fluent taxonomy taxonomy API. So if you're looking into modifying and doing modifications with taxonomy and the BMP Chase actually has that already so there's a fluent API for creating terms and terms. That's a managing thing. Now, whenever we have the proper REST API available, the BMP J's will be updated under the hood to use the new API right. Now it's actually piggybacking on the client, as we see if I'm not mistaken, right Patrick.

A

That's really the de plan related on that one going forward. Yes,.

B

Hopefully, hopefully,.

A

Yes, no commitments, C, speculative everybody is where X consultant. So we don't promise anything. So we.

B

Haven't seen the REST API? Yes, that's.

A

That is true. That is true. That's that is free. Now, moving on on things so I, like said this is going to be a random set of slides. I have ten minutes, because we want to have those additional demos and many of these things. What you see in these slides will be demonstrated in this.

A

One, weekly and bi-weekly community calls now moving in forward SharePoint, betas and webparts a new road map in the releasing now sure there's some improvements around different areas and functionalities on the on the modem pages, but more on the developer side of things, whereas my markers where's, my markers, oh they're, there, six and background colors I would say, is a big thing from a planning perspective, so you're able to actually modify the the background of a section in a modern page.

A

So we were able to basically say that one area of the page is in crave one area of the basis in blue, depending on the theme as settings, what you have on the sides. So that is a pretty cool thing which we demonstrated also in ignite. Videos will definitely demonstrate do a a specific session. Related on modern pages and all this capabilities in future in the community course as well. The second kind of a big thing around the developer topics is dynamic data connectors web parts.

A

So this one goes to GA as of the 1.7 and out-of-the-box webparts are supporting that as well.

A

So if there's a wet part which is exposing data, like a list view web part, you're able to then have a web part which is tying in to that web part so based on a selection of a row, your custom web part might then show something else, and this really is there to provide that web part of a part or web part to extension level connectivity between the elements in a page so really cool stuff, and then our consistent system, guidance for theming and custom web parts and app.

A

So there's a additional investments on that area as well. There will be Microsoft fluent theming updates, so the office UI fatrick will be modified to use the Microsoft fluent theming so with this then consistently introduced across the Microsoft as a whole. So, and that means that obviously our fabric is updated accordingly, maybe we'll even renamed office to our fabric at the same time, because it's no longer just office.

A

Obviously our fabric is, for example, used by visitors to the online or DevOps nowadays and now that they changed name and then first and third party web part. Phone support is in top of the mind section, and global navigation and footer is in the top of the minds section as well. I'm gonna talk about the footer in a second as well, under the search webparts and any news on that.

A

So we don't actually have explicit news on the search web part at this point, because the search is now let's say, relocate it to be a unified search, and this is no longer having a search in a SharePoint level. Only. It is a unified search crossed office 365, and that also then indicates some higher-level changes. So I can there's no exact news and timings related on updated search, webparts for now.

A

Question will SPL team be able to change the header, color and cobalt enough colors soon? If we are talking about world club enough color, so there will be absolutely investments on the theme. Sign again slightly depends on on what are we explicitly mean with a global now, at least the suit?

A

Not navigation and suit bar in the top will never be managed by a SharePoint theme, because that's the suit navigation bar is the office 365 level bar at the top hub bar whatever that is, but so the main idea is obviously that you're able to color and define any element, and in this section in the modern pages and if there's any gaps on that, those will be absolutely at rest. So, absolutely now a quick question and a lot of questions give me a second there's.

A

Quite a few slides still do culture so I can we can walk through there's a branding and all of that coming through as well. So I will answer those questions in a second and or if, let's do this, we'll news web part super targeted content. Absolutely that would be stupid if you wouldn't do that. So yes, when or may or may come in use, be released. Let's get back on that slide in a second, so we do have make a menu slide coming on now, SharePoint sites and portal system roadmaps.

A

A few pointers from here hub site designs is releasing now. What it means is that, basically, when you associate a team site or a site collection to a hub, you are able to execute some scripts, our site scripts, and you can basically modify condemn, modify settings of the sides and whatever is needed for associating site to the side to the hub sine beta.

A

First API is exposed in craf relatively soon, so a high-level API on that one and the first version will be relatively clumsy and but it will be able to in future new site header layouts, including shy mode. What does that mean? Well, it means that you're able to control how big the header section is in the pages, so you can reduce the size of the header into a smaller section, so it doesn't actually eat up as much as it is right. Now you make a menu layout for slide and hop navigation by end of 2018.

A

Obviously we can't give you an exact date right now, because that dependent, Inman and numerous factors you might have seen that technically, the maker menu in quotes was leaked accidentally a few weeks before ignite, and then it was actually plucked. So the functionality is there we're just doing a final verifications on the make a menu and after that's verified, it will be then available for you to take advantage site footer with layered options, at least some level of site footer.

A

If you layered options is coming end of 2018, so basically, what it means is I'll show you what it means in a few slide and pretty soon and then enable communication site experience at the root of the tenant, and this is really we're. Gonna change the by default when a tenant is created and there will be a communication, so I created on the root side of this talent.

A

So that's one way of doing stuff and then the second thing is that for the existing tenants we're looking into enabling the feature which will give you the capabilities of the communication side in the root of the tenant. If you would like to do so, so that's really, that's really the intention you can control when and how that transition will happen if you're interested of making them. But you are able to basically enable communication site style experience in the root of your tunnel, which is a really important thing.

A

Huge and then first half of 2019 hub website footer with layered options. So when you associate a site collection to a hub, then that controls also the footer which is being used within the site collection level, which is pretty cool on the other half sites and additional plates extensions for developers is coming up as well. Absolutely we understand that those are needed. It's a matter of predation, there's quite a few items in the art to the list of things now on the hub sites. We can actually skip this one.

A

So we talked about many of these already I'm, just conscious about the time I'm not going to humongous amount of times. These slides are directly from the presentations which are available for everybody, anybody from the ignite at microsoft.com. So if you go to ignite at microsoft.com, there are sessions on demand where a lot of the stuff is is being demonstrated, live and we'll do live. Demos on all of this stuff in the upcoming community course as well. One hub site, world map website, designs, site designs, that's pretty much available.

A

We talked about that one new mega menu layout, how hot navigation talked about that one in the previous slides as well hop footer that was mentioned in the previous roadmap as well, and then on. The top of the mind is quite a few developer. Related topics like global navigation and footer multi hub parenting sites, nested hops, is in the top of the mine as well, because people are asking how would I do that hub, so hops associated to a hub, so you can actually create a really deep here, our case within your tenant.

A

So that's in the planning we know about that requirement when it will be out that's unclear and also the hub site limits right now is increased to 100. If you go back on the first section of the slide, it's now 100 in the ship went deaf weekly. We were. We were having joke about this one. So next we'll probably increase that to 110, so we get another announcement and then we increase that 120 and 125 and 126, and so on, so we're gradually increasing the number of hops.

A

What is being so corner now, moving on on things, so sly script actions, so sai-san's choirs are going to talk about this one on next Tuesday in the monthly community call, but there's more and more capabilities available in this area as well. The reason why I wanted to have this one here is mainly to mention slide designs and side. Scripts, absolutely is the preferred way for you to provision stuff, because the operation happens on server side now.

A

The scientists, science and side scripts, however, are still quite limited, even after the new capabilities, but you can see here so if you compare on the on the PMP provisioning site that will PMP provisioning engine, that will give you more power, but if it can achieve what you're looking for using sites or from site designs, even us in the obviously the PMB team or PMP team is basically the chef on dev team and they'll definitely recommend you to use the site designs inside screw, because that's the native out-of-the-box capability and operations happens using server-side apos inside of the SharePoint Server, so it's faster than the PMP provisioning engine.

A

Now, if you need to do provisioning of actual site designs or teams or site collections or application stuff to the application, catalogs and then absolutely use BMP provisioning engine, because those are the elements which support it there. So don't it's not a competition, it's matter of choosing the right tool for you, based on your business requirements, so side scripts card designs where possible then fall back on the BMP provisioning engine where, if you, if you have a business requirements which you can't achieve with such scripts in practice, now.

A

Cool moving on are things a few more slides before we go to the demo section. So this is I know that this is rushing, but I just want to kind of pinpoint the things and absolutely well cultural. Many of these things live in the community cause in the future a view formatting is released now, so that's available right away from a list and libraries perspective. The easier colon formatting is coming as well, so we understand that we need to have some level of a tooling natively within a product as well.

A

Chris Kent has an awesome tooling for this one as well, but we're looking into also introducing some level 4 tooling, for making these things happen in SharePoint site as well. Dynamic content is in less than other web parts. We mentioned that one already, so that's the dynamic data functionality, but obviously the lists web part will support that as well, create side actions for your list and used inside the signs, so you're able to start using those inside the signs level.

A

And let's see not that much, let's say a massive amount of things on the roadmap, which we at least disclosed at this point.

A

So obviously the modern list and a library experience is moving along fast and will keep more announcements as we move along and then one thing what I wanted to quickly relate it on slide planning on slide designs before we go to that slide, that's the end of finals line, and this is something what we're looking for in for doing and natively within a SharePoint without any customization, so to say well or you know how would I that was highly confusing, so family of fooder options.

A

Let me put it this way: pretty soon you're able to create a simple folder without any customization, so basically are able to go to a theme and you're able to say when somebody says is this theme to assign these are the footer links which should be available?

A

This is the background color, and this is the logo for the footer and then, after that, there will be also there will be a more experienced or enhanced experience, which is extended footer, which will then basically give you an option to show additional links, so it's kind of a mega footer. From that perspective, you can have stacked footer as well, which is basically then an extension, so the extended fuller and the simple footer extended.

A

If this is not enough for you, you can absolutely then use customizations and here, as an example, is an SP effect solution from the PMP starter kit, which is providing your personalized that personalized experience based on a user profile properties and often this is a customization and the same way as you can also implement customized fooders in SharePoint, and push them available across the whole tenant if needed.

A

But pretty soon there will be an out-of-the-box experience for creating the basic photos soon, meaning I can't give you an exact date again, but that was in the roadmap sites as well.

A

It's it's coming sooner or later, and then, if you need to have more advanced scenarios, content based on a user profiles, content based on the proof where people are, then you always fall back on the customization right now still footers are sticky but we're looking into having content footers as well and content placeholder support as well so you're able to inject the footer directly on the content, rather than not just in the sticky section right now, they're still, unfortunately, sticking for those who understand what it says to give footer so I planting outside this and I wrote my final slide before we give stage for Bert to move along on the transfer, modernization tooling, so hub site designs is releasing.

A

Now we talked about that one already new header layouts. We talked about that one already new makeup menu layout talked about that one slide: Fuller's with layout option coming slide script, support for most site branding elements, so additional capabilities. First, half of 2019 for hub footer. We mentioned that one already office, 365 suit header, with Universal Search- that this is a important thing to realize as well. So now that we actually relocate or reprioritize the search to be cross office 365, the search will be relocated to the suit header, so suit navigation.

A

So the search will no longer be in the header section of the SharePoint site. It will be actually at the higher level in the suit bar section. Whenever that is available, a set local for team sites coming. You can absolutely set a local for team site, yes, that that should be that actually absolutely works even at the PMPA provision areas and should pause that for now.

A

Question from guru that part as a tentative angle is a possible to show or hide no, no, no for at the Botsford when it's released, the other box, footer I think it's actually controlled by the hand. Actually, it is controlled in the theme level.

A

So in some level answer is yes in some level answer is not necessarily exactly what you're looking for, but yes, I know we'll get more details or Burson available when, when the functionalities is getting released on the top of the mind section, first and third party, a font, support, updated theme, generator global navigation and footers. Our script editor so having an editor for creating side scripts, absolutely in the backlog as well. Yanik has actually done an awesome job on that one.

A

There is an editor third-party open source, a Natur editor already available site script, actions for site pages and web parts and pates extensions for developers so or placeholders to modify and inject your content into pages.

A

One thing that's actually missing from here or the site designs discussion: there is plans to export a list as a site script, so you are able to then export an existing list as a side script and there will be a powershell commandlets to be able to get the chase and definition of a list so are able to export that so we're able to then include that definition to a site, design or site scripts as such. So that's really cool stuff.

A

It will not, however, support all of the scenarios from a day one so as an example of taxonomy fields, and all of that is not supported again. If you need to reduce taxonomy fields or complex scenarios, then the BMP provisioning engine is your friend and that supports extraction and deployment as well. Oh, that's it for this slide and I spent too much time. Sorry, Burt, sorry, Patrick but I think a lot of questions and a lot of announcements.

A

So that tried to be a quick run-through on all of the things and like set for the upcoming community course. We'll do live, demos will have visitors, will have people showing and this stuff which we just went through, but it's good to see the excitement also in the window on the roadmap but Burt take it away. Yeah.

B

Thank You Vera. So let's talk about modernization.

B

Thank you, polarization first defroster excites I, don't.

A

Know if I I didn't see your slides actually under day ah interesting, okay,.

B

I created a deck with lights, with brandied, wasn't fully merged. Well, alright, nevermind. Let's share my screen and that's why it's just demo, that's fine as well! You could think you.

A

Should see I got it all.

B

Right whoo, it worked that's kind of one of the first times anyway, so I wanted to give you guys, like an update on modernization with much fun stuff again and other girls in the hospital.

B

Motorisation is quite a Boston first, as my cut also figures, the customer, because she wants to give your your end, customers, your end users latest and greatest, and to be able to use lipstick grids of SharePoint. You need to be a modern ship. Rest assured this roadmap with several model improvements, and if you want to leverage those use, those your site needs to be modern. Now, if you get a new site, fine everything is modern, no problems, but just like this massive amount of classic sites that you had your life classic deep sites.

B

Let's team sites lists libraries, they have pages, etc. So what can can do about those sites? That's all about modernization, so this topic, mobilizing your classic SharePoint sites, is the scribes in all detail on how to kind of tackle the problem. How to have scan for their work need to do so.

B

Let's take an example: if you want to group connect your classic deep sites, because you want to a used example themes with them off planner, you can, if two approaches you just go say to you, just like just click on the menu option in the UI and try it if it works for you great, if not to, then let us know might work for small customers. But if you are working with a large customer, you won't have more control.

B

So for that, with this guidance that you have here this case, we're talking about the connector group area guidance, you would simply run a scanner, it's kind of a general to be paused and based on that, we post, you know what the remedy eight and then you can use again guidance. We have two public group, connect your sites so and the same kind of all scanning, Rama, gating and then applying also is fellows for the other mobilization areas, like listen, libraries and site pages.

B

Now, one of the new things that we released over the last couple of months ago, when customization is different, is improving the scanners. So in the past, when you ran scanners, you get like a massive amount of CC files, quite half to consume, but now you get this, we generate a spot of the skin, get like a nice Excel bot which allows you to filter the data and understand your data. This is, for example, a group connection.

B

What which came from my deaf tenant and I can say like give me all the sides which are not ready for Cooper fighting.

B

Then it will load the data, and you see this 46 sites thought I should weep of I. Then you see the reasons why. Okay, in this case, we have some publishing feature enabled on some sites, yes, I sure were already group connected, etc, which size cannot be group connected.

B

This makes it really easy for you to get a view. Allistic view on your environment already is my environment for me to be modernized. When comes the group, connect rent comes to pay transformation and comes to listen, libraries, and also when it comes to publishing portals. So this is a preview think the first time that is shown in a call. Actually, we have a new component in the scanner that will analyze your publishing portals.

B

I will give you a lot of depth and information around cranky publishing portals the site, depth, used, templates, global navigation, navigation tapes, use obligation to our navigation, guess the master pages, etc page there. It's lots of information that you have, which you can then use to understand like. If you take this plastic portal, I want to build a new modern portal. How can I what do we need to take an account? It's my site structure, home. A classic portal is transferable to a mobile portal.

B

There's no, and what kind of H nodes are you just example? Here is so we you get that information, so you get, for example, let's scroll down I want, but they look for still Bothell demo, not sure. What's in there a bit, then you see for this particular demo portal. If you spit just used the counts of HDR it sir. It's all this targeting used to example.

B

It might be important for you because we have like new audience targeting in chiffon a-line, and so you need to transform that if we're in socketing is important, long story short, this is the first beta version of a poster, and it's meant to really help. You understand your current classic pub she portals and prepare them to be transformed to modern publishing portals.

B

So I would like to ask you if you give it a try. Let us know this is a better report, but you would definitely like to know how it works to your alignment and what kind of data you see. So, please, if you try and provide feedback to regular channels what.

A

Was the link on that just double check if we shared the links properly in the in the dev talks, it is absolutely in the dev Docs.

B

A

Yeah exactly and don't put it in a slack put it in the I window.

A

Sp def modernize, so SP PMP modernize. Should people like this.

B

A

B

Will get you to that guidance to this documentation here from their own? You can just navigate and pick topic that you're interested in laughs topics they want to highlight as well. Today is this page transformation so where we are last week we released the SharePoint monetization framework, which is currently, and you get packaged that you can download, and it will help you with forming your classic wiki pages interpretations of modern page.

B

So, let's take a quick example: there is like a site with a classic page. Page is actually with some text in which reversed text and there's like in a list view web part I've taken a solution, and you find the link to the solution on the guidance that, if you mentioned before, take a look at my solution, modernize and using the solution you can catch, get a model version of those pages. So what the situation do real quick is a.

B

The instance based on station formation, so you just specify the page that you want to mobilize list options, and then you call on ice and that's it so really lightweight simple approach at the page. Tell it how to modernize it and run it. So, let's quickly.

A

So your password is password. No it's just it's always. Yes,.

B

I've heard another password except password: yes,.

A

That's a clever way of encrypting your password, like I, said, then your password is password. It's.

B

Just fake Gators.

A

B

Flowers exactly so this is running and it did convert the three pages in my side. So, let's flip back to the side.

B

Side contents: let's go to the pages library.

B

Pages and here we have a migrated to the front page and migrated 0 page, so that's one way to do its meaning this wasn't an IT Griffon operation you see actually I should also show you guys to also.

A

Page otherwise it's.

B

An original original wiki page, then you get this as a modern page.

B

The table is slightly bigger than the view scroll bottom bottom, but the table is there the links there? The formal thing is there. Things are just retained now you might think like yeah I can maybe run this tool for all my pages and get model page. But how do we know if the user likes? The page is the good page?

B

It's not good the big organization, that's quite hard, so that's why we are looking into making it easier to consume this page from smash technology and for that I have a little demo as well, and this is really prototype, meaning it might fail.

B

Actually it's here. So what we do I plan to do is release guidance for you, which allows us to do something like this. So this is a classic page, a very basic classic page. Let's open it real, quick, just one line, hello, page so hello, world of the pages. If I pick, this page I get a create modern version or the right-click modernize link. So let's try that doing this.

B

That's a page holiness with expert part which talks to an azure ad stick use the service which there's transformation Hey on behalf of the user, once that's done and things are warming up a little bit and this is deaf person, but once that's done, you're redirected back to the transform to page which should happen in any second soon so boom. We have a nice page created by an end user.

B

Now, if the end user doesn't like this page, how can we deal with that and that's the next step, which is in development, the typing? If you will get something like this and don't look at the branding? I'm, really bad, pretty nice looking device, but.

A

It's orange orange is good, it's always good. For me, it's red, it's red, orange.

B

Push the follower stretch, I guess, but the idea is to put something like this a banner on top of the page, and then you have motion to keep the pho discuss the page. So if you look at the page URL on top here, zooming okay, here we have migrated pen, let's go classic dude with a specs page, so the original name was classic page to today's fix. But you created a new page, so we still have the old page.

B

Now, if the user likes this page, you can click on keep this but keep this page button. And then what will happen is this works is that we call again are as a function. Measure function will reverse and flip the names. So now we have up here, it is called classic page to the day specs. So we just really replace the old page with a new page going forward and the old page is still there, as in left over.

B

A

To go through and delete those to remove this yeah.

B

Later on, you can delete them or we can have an option to delete them at once, so, but idea is to make a pay transformation very, very easy to use, because there's like a lot, this is about ninety percent. The pages in your tenant can be transformed, so why not make it happen?

B

A

Need to go to the Patrick in a second, but just to be super clear on this one, so this will be a community tooling available for anybody to take advantage. This is not something. What you're seeing right now is not something which we're going to ship as an engineering feature, at least for now, so who knows at the longer term, but first there will be community tooling, available, open source tooling available to make this happen right right.

B

Right and then discretion around publishing and yeah, maybe we're looking into a giving you options to help transform publishing portals. You saw the scanner, that's one step, but next step is defining like what kind of kind of tooling can we offer.

B

We haven't decided on that yet so, but this might play a role later on and publishing transmission as well. Yeah.

A

But that is insanely cool tall.

A

Yeah there's a question.

B

A

Chose how quickly are the links old bay leaves the.

B

A

B

You renate the lage, leagues, yeah.

A

Links both yeah, yes,.

B

Links work, I, actually, first renamed the navigation link. He revelled then to the copy of the page. If you need about this kind of complex logic behind which ensures that the legs stay and they all internal links are chirpin is pretty good at three writing links. It's only when you rename a page and let's kept an account and so Sam. She is to someone pointing to this hip link to this modernize. Sorry, we called it. The classic page today speaks somewhere else. It will now end up on a modern page.

B

A

A good question related on what, if base have four plastic wit parts? There is a transformation mapping, so right so and sorry Patrick. This is grenade up your time, but basically, what happens? Is that there's the mapping rules in the framework which is basically saying hey if there's a equalent?

A

If there's a matching web part in the modern experience you can flip to there and then there's even a custom functions which you can execute to transform the properties of the web part if the the modern web part replacement web is different structure or if you have third-party custom web parts which are matching for the classic web part, then we are able to do that in the transformation rules as well. So it's.

B

Fully flexible, you can really define your own transformation and just to show this is the classic page that we transformed it has like two web parts. Well, this report. This is embedded image and the end result is this one put in edit mode, it's a page which has a text part which has an image part which then has like again text craft and web and list view web part.

B

So the tool is pretty clever and will split up your HTML and different pieces and sort web parts or videos everything in between and it can do about 25 of the most popular web parts, something once which you can't do, but like we scans customers, how bigger suppose rather scan us that we have and kinda based on the data we notice. That's like 90%. The pages can be transformed, it's just using basic webparts, there's 10%, which is special.

B

If you can already do like 90%, that's like a huge win and that's why we did this investment and building this this tooling, in this guidance, yeah.

A

Pretty cool stuff Patrick: do you want to go or should we reschedule? We.

B

Can just skip it at this point.

A

Exactly exactly that's what I thought as well, so we'll put it on the next in in two weeks, schedule.

B

Nothing file yeah.

A

B

This was this was what you talking about. Sighs is this web mapping file, which then describes? Let's take this cube apart. It describes what information it collects about web earth and then it describes typical transformations.

B

For example, the super profit goes to a modern Lisp reports, and here is the web. The modern web part of the properties Association properties of the web part it's. Actually. It's fully documented. If you want understand how it works. If you go to a modernize, mr. libraries, sorry, modernize, UI, almost user interface. First, you go transform classic pages, the modern client-side pages.

B

There is additional pages. One of them is a transformation model which gives you and details on this XML. What's in there, how does for a card you? Can you configure it because it's really flexible, you can even plug in your own doughnut code. That runs your inter summation rule some logic like a product top of this yeah.

A

It's all open source, this MIT source available in github. You can use it as such. You can pull it down. You can modify that you can build your own, offering on top of this up to you so yeah.

B

It does support all the default layouts, so these are all the default web page layouts. These are the wiki pages, which are transformed to model equivalents. If you have something very custom, you will end up with a one column but they're, like the majority of the pages uses default, wiki page or web page layouts, so that should be fine if there's a ton of options. So just what's interesting, this one is interesting.

B

You can already convert the pages in a way that a new page gets the name of the old page without having asked God asking user to make this choice. If you would like to do that.

A

That's terrifying right, yeah.

B

That's maybe terrifying, but this is interesting as well and you have an option to replace the home page with a default modern stock home page, so the same home page you would get from a new. You recreate a team site, you might say, like I, just wanna start off with my home page. You have the option.

B

We keep permission. So if you have identical missions on your page will they are retained to copy over this important page header? You saw that we opted to not show the big ugly, big banner, say big twice, it's really big. So we get at the most clean one, but you can freely add your own clients that page header you can, whatever you want, meaning you can put like an image there, alignment of the image, all the options that the NPAPI four pages supports. You can apply here as well, and then there is several overwrite options.

B

Writing the title. You can do your own layout transformation, etc service, a ton of options available in this H estimation tool you to make it do what you want it to do.

A

Absolutely absolutely great job on this one and and obviously this is open source, so people are able to also contribute hack actually.

B

All about this, because we didn't do that yeah.

A

You have it open.

B

Holes solutions.

B

Sharepoint modernist shepherd.

A

Mobilization here.

B

Is and causation framework is under this particular project, so you can find everything. Let me paste it in the chip.

B

So is in the same solution and also consolidation scanner. So all the malaysian bits are currently one solution that will probably break it out in multiple solutions, because we're creating share for framer components as well for mobilization, yeah, maybe even I, don't know we'll see, but therefore, now it's here and the reuse absolutely thank you. Mike, as.

A

Dutch, okay,.

A

I think that's it for this one, so we're running out of time as well so in the next ship on dev seek meeting is on October 18th, we're looking into having printing people or some I well hunting topics and more details on the new capabilities covered there, for which we announced and ignite so we'll use the same platform most likely, but we use the Nick knife for demonstrating some of the capabilities in that goal.

A

Week from now, we have a shipment, favor call shipment, fame of special interest group call and just a reminder, if you're interested in doing a community demo in this, please let us know we're highly interested on providing you that opportunity as well next Tuesday monthly community, but Miller will be there. Some squares will be there and we acknowledge shows to people who've been contributing within the past week. Well, thank you have a past month. Thank you, everybody for again joining. Thank you for your super super valuable input in window and in other channels.

A

Akms SP PMP is to SharePoint community developer community location, where you find more details on all of our open source, tooling projects. Community calls all of that stuff and it is actually in our documentation, but thank you. Everybody recording will be available within 24 hours in the normal YouTube channel. Thank you. Bye, bye,.
