Demos

• Introduction to CLI for Microsoft 365 and PnP PowerShell VS Code extensions – delivering relevant code snippets, documentation, and script samples for commands within the environment you are coding. Simplifying finding scripts is the core driver for these extensions. Bring up commands by typing CLI or PnP (PowerShell) and then select to open script sample gallery or documents suggested related to command. New scripts and documents added to PnP libraries flow right into these extensions.
• Using list formatting to improve SharePoint pages library experience for content creators – find site pages more quickly by using a few atypical and nicely formatted columns for organizing information. Start by creating a new view. Expose the Promoted State, Author Byline, and Banner Image columns. Format columns using formatting samples - person-hover-card, image-lightbox and promoted-state-icons from the PnP List Formatting Repo. As well, use icons, counts, colors, and conditions for more clarity. Rearrange columns in view.

The host of this call was David Warner II (Microsoft) | @DavidWarnerII. Q&A takes place in chat throughout the call.
