We’ve just launched our Q1 2026 release, and I wanted to share what’s new with the Advania Community. This quarter was about getting the fundamentals right: making Fresh work for everyone, keeping everything feeling native to Microsoft 365, and building what you’ve been asking for. WCAG 2.2 AAA compliance: Accessibility at…
SharePoint web parts are incredibly powerful. They let you build pages that genuinely help your team. Display news, surface documents, show events, create navigation. All without needing technical expertise. The thing is, a few smart choices make the difference between a page that feels effortless and one that feels…
If your organisation is drowning in PDFs, policies, contracts and forms scattered across SharePoint, you're not alone. The real challenge isn't storing documents, it's keeping them findable, governance-compliant and ready to power tools like Copilot. And that's where Microsoft's latest naming change might actually solve a…
SharePoint has analytics. You probably know this. But here's what you might not realise: having data and being able to use it are very different things. Your SharePoint analytics show you how many people viewed a page, how long they spent there, where they came from. That's valuable. But if you've published content across…

Policies, budgets, contracts, they all bottleneck the same way: unclear ownership, multiple versions floating about and no clear record of who actually signed off. SharePoint approval workflows solve this. They replace the chaos…
Somewhere around the twentieth row of a shared spreadsheet, most teams realise they've outgrown it. Priorities are start to become unclear. Updates are no longer consistent. And no one's really quite sure who owns what anymore. Eeek! 🙈 The instinct then is usually to bolt on another tool. But if your organisation already…
Wawa is one of those heritage brands on the US east coast that people genuinely care about – 900+ stores, 30,000+ people, and a strong culture of "servant leadership" where in-store associates are at the centre of every decision. But when Colleen Labik took on internal communications in 2019, she faced a familiar problem:…
Here's the thing: an intranet that doesn't feel branded is an intranet people won't use. The moment employees land on it, they make a split-second judgment. Does this belong to us? Is this maintained and trustworthy? Or does it feel like a generic IT project? SharePoint gives you the tools to answer that first question…
If your employees treat your SharePoint intranet as a last resort rather than a first port of call, there's a good chance search is the culprit. It's not usually a technology problem...it's a configuration and content one. 😅 SharePoint search is genuinely capable. It can find documents, pages, news and people across your…
SharePoint's flexibility is a blessing and a curse. It gives you everything you need to build a working intranet, but it also means the experience your team gets depends entirely on how you set it up. And most organisations discover this the hard way... after months of messy folder structures, version chaos and…
