| SharePoint Notification | Good Afternoon, We have seen some changes with Twitter and sharing pages from SharePoint. It seems like Twitter has changed the look of the Summary card to be more like the player card. If you liked the look of the old Summary card, we suggest updating your SEO Twitter Card to Summary_large_image (we have confirmed this change works). For more information or to view what these look like please see the Twitter section on the SEO Training Page.
Thank you!

To follow these steps, please follow the Walkthrough document found on the Training Website. This transfer should occur before the upgrade to SharePoint 2019 (Timeline TBD). If you need help, please submit a service desk ticket.

| SharePoint Notification | Good Morning,
In September, you were notified that the Dashboard Page Layout (three columns, with icons, images and content) would be removed. Any agency utilizing this Dashboard layout found at the bottom of the training page will need to switch to another available layout. Our recommendation is to switch to one of the other three available homepage layouts. If this current dashboard layout is being utilized on an internal page, we suggest using the three column page layout. The Governor's Office has asked that this layout be removed by 3/18/2021. If you need help moving data or have questions, please contact the service desk.
*For agencies utilizing this page layout on internal pages (not the homepage), we will be reaching out individually to provide URLs to those pages.
Thank you and have a nice week!

| SharePoint Notification | Good Morning,
For those that utilize our media website, we want you to be aware that we removed the field for ShowOnPA.gov. As of over a year ago all items added to the media website were being uploaded to PA.gov no matter if this field was being selected or not. Communication should have came from Krystal Bonner, we are doing minor clean up today.
|
| SharePoint Notification | Please be advised that effective 09/30/2020 at 5:00 pm document versioning will be limited to 5 versions for each document on SharePoint document libraries.
This urgent change has become necessary to improve site performance, by reducing the large volume of outdated document versions stored in SharePoint.
This change will only be made on the libraries named “Documents” and “Site Collection Documents”. Other libraries will not be impacted at this time.
Please also note, that since most documents are created and maintained outside of SharePoint, and then uploaded for use on websites, we recognize that storage of only the most recent version of the document is necessary. As such, we will continue to evaluate the capacity utilized by this versioning feature to determine if additional modifications will be necessary to improve SharePoint performance.
If you have any questions or concerns about these changes please contact the Service Desk, as soon as possible.
Thank you!
