Demos
- How to create or migrate SharePoint pages with Microsoft Graph API and Power Automate – new beta capabilities in Graph API targeting SharePoint pages include List, Create, Get, Update, Delete, Publish, Horizontal section, Vertical section, Web part. The new capabilities allow users to migrate the full canvas of SharePoint pages across sites and tenants. Step through a Flow action to GET an existing page and another action to POST a new page in existing site. Page content is a JSON payload.
- List Formatting Magic – inlineEditField and setValue for making list fields editable – for most unformatted/basic columns you can slap the inlineEditField: @currentField on existing formats to make the column editable (click and change). For formatted columns or columns with multi-value formatting, use setValue with actionInput and displayValue to accomplish inline editing capability. See how Chris draws from samples - 48 Inline Editing samples, found in the PnP Samples repo to accomplish the objective.
