Kaps    

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to publish changed site content/stucture etc from Dev tenant to QA tenant to prod tenant.
In SharePoint On-Premise, we can backup and store the content database to move content in different environments.
For more information, you can refer to:
Moving content between SharePoint environments
Regarding SharePoint Online, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in Office 365 forum.

  • Authoring and Publishing site collection in SharePoint Online

    Hi ,
    Can we have multiple authoring and publishing site collection in SharePoint Online?
    Thanks, Kaviya (Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you)

    Yes you can use SharePoint 2013 cross-site publishing feature in SharePoint Online to support 1:1 and 1:n set up of authoring : publishing site-collections in SharePoint Online. The catch is that it all needs to be within same tenant.

  • Modify email invitation/alert content in sharepoint online

    Hi, its a known bug that we can't modify the email notification messages thats being sent from sharepoint online site to the users. Just wanted to make sure microsoft has not yet make any update for this. ? or any other alternate / hack for this? Basically
    i want to send a custom email when people 'share' something in my office365 site. 
    Thanks, Saravanan PRS

    Yammer should be available with your O365 subscription today, but you would have to switch to it within the SharePoint Online tenant settings.
    That said, end users can subscribe to Yammer groups, or specific tags, or specific users.

  • Security flaw-To use CSOM/Javascript code for Custom Office365(Sharepoint Online) application

    Hi,
    I've developed custom application in Office365(Sharepoint Online) using CSOM/Javascript. Security team from client side has been reported one major issue to the our application that any end user can comment our CSOM/Javascript code and bypass the validation
     or can update / insert into sharepoint list item using developer tool/ Console in Google Chrome(F12 Key).
    Also end user can write his own separate code in console of Google Chrome (Developer Tool / F12) and can update / insert  into Sharepoint List.
    Note:- End user has Add, Edit, View permission on all Sharepoint List.
    This is one major security flaw of the Sharepoint/Office365 to use CSOM /Javascript for writing code, to overcome this issue could you please provide me some solution.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!  
    Looking for reply.

  • Copy/paste images into pages within sharepoint online?

    There seems to be a workaround to use RadControl for this. (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/655c080f-ec1e-4e69-b082-d35973ee426a/copy-and-paste-for-images-in-sharepoint)
    However, I don't think we can deploy custom app/binaries onto sharepoint online.
    Is there other way we can easily copy/past images into pages?
    Thx

    you cannot paste the images into sharepoint pages directly, Images cannot be rendered as HTML so cannot be pasted.
    You have to upload the images into SharePoint then insert it on the pages /places you want.
    or other work aorund buy the 3rd party tool which you mentioned.

  • Staging of Servers in POL ie Dev, UAT, Production

    Is there any way to set up a scheme where three Project on line could be set up to allow developments to move to a UAT environment then move to the production environment?

    Hello,
    If you are looking at config of Project Online (custom fields, views etc.) you could look at Fluent Pros Fluent Books:
    http://www.fluentpro.com/project-online/configuration-management/fluentpro-fluentbooks-for-project-online/
    If you are looking at Apps, you can deploy them to the App catalog in the Office 365 tenant but only add it to the DEV PWA instance until you are happy with it, the add it the UAT instance etc.

  • When do files actually become flagged for syncronization in SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business

    I have not been able to find an answer to this question. Currently, I use One Drive for Business via my Office 2013 Pro included client installed on Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit. For the most part, I've never had an issue and have been using it for almost a year
    now with standard "flat" files. Recently, I decided to try moving my Quickbooks company file into One Drive to allow my accountant easy and up-to-date access.
    So far so good; however, this posed a question I had not thought of before. When does a change in a file/folder become noticed and flagged for synchronization upstream?
    Is it after "saving" a file or releasing/closing the open handle on it (hoping this is the correct thought)
    Is it on a scheduled basis (doesn't appear so as it seems triggered and will attempt to sync as soon as I put a file in a managed location)
    Is it when I open file and as I make changes to it they are being synced (hope not as this is a database of sorts)
    I hope someone has a clearer understanding of the internal sync process or can point me to a whitepaper outlining the details.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Alex!
    Certainly, as an example:
    Under my top level site Collection:
    /subsiteA has been created using the records centre template, and I have a document library: "test docs A" in this subsite.
    In subsiteA I have a content type called "Test Content Type"
    "Test Content Type" has a column "test column A" which is a basic text column.
    When I upload a word document to this library, then open it again, I can see the "test column A" in the document metadata (which appears in Quick Parts).  However, "Document ID Value" does not appear.  If I run the same scenario
    on /subsiteB (created using the team site template), Document ID Value does appear.
    With regards to {_UIVersion}:
    When I turn on an Information Management Policy and enable the Label feature, I can add {Version} to the field successfully.  However, when I upload and open a document from the document library in /subsiteA, the "Label" metadata is inserted
    in the word document, however the value is {_UIVersion}, rather than the numeric value of the sharepoint item version (ie, 3.2).  When I do the same against /subsiteB, the "Label" metadata does contain the sharepoint item version correctly.
    I installed the "SharePoint Manager 2013 Online" app to the library.  As you say, it looks like the enableparser property is not anywhere to be found.  The only difference I can see is: RootWeb->Webs->subsiteA.WebTemplate = OFFILE
    whereas RootWeb->Webs->subsiteB.WebTemplate = STS.
    I hope that makes some sense and thanks for the help!

  • Can I merge a site from pre-production with the content already in production - ALM query

    Hi, I have a number of queries around the movement of content between environments in SP2010. 
    1) Move a site from production to test without the production data
    Is the best option here to save the site as a template and don't tick the include content box? Or is it better to take a site collection backup and then restore it to the test environment.
    2) Once I have my site in test is there any way I can make changes, then move the site back to production while still maintaining the production data? 
    I don't know how this would work but maybe there is a way somehow. Say for example the site has been modified in test such as adding new site columns or content types, how should this be deployed to production? Is it simply a matter of replicating all the
    changes manually to production?
    It would be useful to get some best practices around this topic. Thanks.

    Hi Speedbird85,
    This is depend the changes you need to move.
    For empty or small sites, using site template can meet the requirement, you can consider using this.
    Backup and move the content database between environment will lost production changes, this is not really recommended, if you keep the test environment update to date with production, you can use this way.
    For kinds of changes move, there are various ways to sync the conent, like lists, master pages, css, etc. should be packaged in solution file, and deploy it between them.

    Hi,
    What are the best possible ways to deploy the visual web parts and Pages from development environment to Production environment.
    As I am very much new to Sharepoint, I would like to have the safest methods to do the deployment into production. Please also suggest the prerequisites.

  • What are the possibilities and limitation of using Out of the box content search webpart on SharePoint Online 2013/O365 ?

    Hi All,
    We are migrating from on-premise SharPoint 2010 to SharePoint online 2013.
    I have few questions below: 
    What are the possibilities and limitations of using Out of the box content search webpart?
    Also, how the cross site publishing will work in SharePoint online something with managed navigations and product catalog apporach? if it is not supported, then what are the alternatives to acheive the same?
    Appriciate any commnets/clarifications.Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Dhananjay.

    Here are the possibilities of Content search webparts

    Compare the strengths and limitations of the Web Parts
    It’s important that you understand the strengths and limitations of the two Web Parts because if you choose the wrong one, your site could run into performance problems. You can use both Web Parts to show content that is based on a query. In a simplified
    world, here’s how you can decide between the two:
    Use the CQWP when you have a limited amount of content, your query is simple, and you don’t expect your content to grow much in the future.
    Use the CSWP in all other scenarios when you want to show content that is based on a query.
    The table below gives a comparison of the two Web Parts:
    Web Part behavior
    Content Query Web Part
    Content Search Web Part
    Query configuration
    Easy
    You’ll need to know about certain search features such as
    managed properties.
    Query across large amounts of content
    Limited
    Yes
    Handle complex queries
    Limited
    Yes
    Scale to handle future content growth
    Limited
    Yes
    Display content from other site collections
    No
    Yes (see
    section below)
    Design of query results can be customized
    Yes, by using XSLT.
    Yes, by using HTML.
    Maintenance cost in a complex site architecture
    High
    Small (see
    section below)
    Narrow down the query results that are displayed in the Web Part
    No
    Yes, in combination with the
    Refinement Web Part.

  • SharePoint Online reusable deployable content solution

    Good Morning,
    I am still relative new to SharePoint development and I am looking for a push in the right direction. I had a user request the following...
    - Create a SharePoint site with minimal branding, just a logo that is changeable. The user is comfortable with SharePoint designer to do this. Is there an easier way for the user? 
    - Convert some existing word documents into web pages that is deployable to different environments for reuse. Templates more or less. 
    - Using SharePoint Online
    What kind of solution is recommended? Additional read materials that you would suggest? Thank you! I just need a push in the right direction. 

    SharePoint branding has been massively overhauled and now caters for those that don't have a very strong background.  To cater for the minimal branding, you can use the Design Manager, which lets you set images, set colours and move onto more advanced
    stuff, if so needed.
    For the Word Conversion, you can use Word Automation Services, which is also included within SharePoint Online.
    Some basic reading on both can be started here: -

  • Customization approach as per best practice for SharePoint Online

    Hi All,
    I am working for a customer for customization on SharePoint Online. I need to create following customization.
    For each department one site collection is required to be created. There will be 15 site collections.
    Each site collection will have couple of team sites.
    Each team will have couple of document libraries and customer list.
    Custom lists and document libraries will have custom views.
    MaterPage and Layout will be customized to apply the UI Branding.
    Customer wants that configuration management should be as per the Microsoft best practice. I am wondering what the approach I should use is.
    Should I create visual studio solution, but since there are 15 different site collections are required to be created I believe sandboxed solution will not be feasible sine sandboxed solution are scoped with site collection.
    I also believe if I do create visual studio solution that development efforts will be extensive.
    I am not sure whether it is feasible, use the SharePoint Designer to apply this customization but I am confused in this case. If it is possible then how I will promote the customization to production.
    I am also confused in case SharePoint online how I will keep production and development environment separate? What is the best practice around it?

    Hi,
    You can create Custom Master page using SharePoint Designer. And for first four points from creating Sitecollection to creating views you can create a hierarchy of objects in site using csv file and then create Powershell script to create sitecollection,
    team site, list/libraries and view by reading csv files.
