SharePoint Online and Microsoft Lists offers a multitude of features to enhance collaboration and streamline data management. One such feature is the Quick Property Editing (Edit in Grid view), which allows users to bulk edit metadata for multiple list items directly from the list view. While this feature can improve efficiency, there are scenarios where disabling it becomes necessary. In this blog post, we’ll explore various methods to achieve this in SharePoint Online.
From SharePoint UI
Follow below steps to disable quick edit (Edit in grid view) from SharePoint list UI:
1. Go to your SharePoint Online list.
2. Click on Settings (gear icon) from the top right corner and select List settings.
3. Click on Advanced settings link from List settings page.
4. From Advanced settings page, scroll down and set Quick property editing (Allow items in this list to be edited using Quick Edit and the Details Pane?) to No.
5. Click OK button at the bottom of advanced list settings page.
Using PnP PowerShell
You can use below PnP PowerShell script to disable Quick property editing (Grid view) from SharePoint Online list or document library:
# Display name of SharePoint online list or document library $listName = "My SharePoint List"
# SharePoint online site URL $siteUrl = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter your SharePoint site URL (e.g https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/pnppowershell)"
# Connect to SharePoint online site Connect-PnPOnline -Url $siteUrl -Interactive
# Disable Quick property editing (Grid view) from SharePoint list Set-PnPList -Identity $listName -DisableGridEditing $true
A new authorization model is implemented for Planner plans, which will be a ‘shared container-based’ authorization model, where OneDrive and SharePoint Online files can be linked to plans to provide users with access to the plan if they have access to the shared container. This means that file-based authorization for plans will provide streamlined access to roster-backed plans that are connected to one or more SharePoint Online/OneDrive files. Note: Graph API is available only in beta
For eg: A user with access to a Loop component or meeting notes that is linked to a plan in Planner will be able to access the plan without needing to be added as a roster member and thereby reducing any potential authorization errors that may arise owing to either roster limits or the absence of another user who can grant access.
When this will happen:
Standard Release: We will begin rolling out early April 2023 and expect to complete by mid-April 2023.
How this will affect your organization:
The users will have a revised authorization experience for the roster plans. The new authorization model allows users to access roster plans that have been shared with a file if they have access to the file (even if the user is not a direct member of the plan).
Users of a Planner plan will see an informatory note as “People with access to these files can also access this plan”.
Users who do not have access to the file (but are roster members) will be informed that a file is providing access to the plan but will not be informed what that file is.
What you need to do to prepare:
There is no action needed to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
In previous versions of SharePoint Server new features were introduced with the release of new major versions. Those versions would be serviced with new security and quality improvements via monthly Public/Cumulative Updates but only on rare occasions, new feature experiences may be introduced via a Public/Cumulative Update.

93rd Monthly Update Released for the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook
Office 365 for IT Pros
The Office 365 for IT Pros writing team is thrilled to announce the availability of the 93rd monthly update for the eBook. Subscribers for the EPUB/PDF version can download the updated files from Gumroad.com while Kindle users can request the updates from Amazon. See our FAQ for more information about fetching updated files for the book.
Many Changes in February 2023
This past month was hectic in terms of the number and types of changes that emerged across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Our change log captures where changes occurred in book chapters. Some of the changes deserve highlighting. Here’s my take:
Microsoft announced the rebranding of Yammer as Viva Engage. The core functionality of Yammer won’t change as it comes under the Viva brand. Book publishers hate product rebranding because of the effect it has on text and graphics. The February edition (92) of Office 365 for IT Pros included more than 250 mentions of Yammer in the text. This update reduces that number significantly. In some cases, we need to wait for Microsoft’s rebranding to be complete.
As part of the Viva Engage rebranding, Microsoft introduced a new Viva Engage Core service plan as part of some licenses. The thought behind the new service plan was good in that it made sure that users who depend on Yammer-sourced services like the Q&A app in Teams could continue working. However, the new plan caused a lot of hassle for tenants where Yammer wasn’t used because suddenly Yammer was available to users. In any case, it was a good opportunity to test the license management cmdlets in the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK as we head towards the deprecation of the license management cmdlets in the Azure AD and MSOL modules at the end of March 2023.
Speaking of the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, several foibles (some would call them bugs) exist that you should be aware of when converting scripts from the old Azure AD and MSOL modules. Or read chapter 23 of Office 365 for IT Pros and use the advice presented there. If you write code for Azure Automation runbooks, remember that Microsoft will pause out Run As accounts in September 2023.
In the world of Exchange Online, we learned that Microsoft restricts the creation of inbound connectors for new tenants. Apparently, this is because of some security concerns. The connectors are created but remain in a disabled state until approval is gained from Microsoft Support.
More positively, the new and improved recall message feature is rolling out. Unlike the previous version, the server processes message recall requests and promises a recall success rate of 90% against the 40% attained by the old code. Message recall only works within a tenant, but it’s nice to have something that has a high chance of working, even when recipients have read a message or filed it out of the inbox.
This month, we took a look at Mesh Avatars in Teams. Not everyone will like the idea of an avatar taking their place during Teams meetings (only visually). On the other hand, if you’re not looking your best, maybe an avatar is the right thing to use.
The Teams Premium license is now generally available even if some of its features are still not fully baked. This month, we looked at the premium meeting templates feature and how templates could be used to manage different types of meetings within large organizations. Also in relation to Teams premium, if you use the trial licenses to check out the premium features, make sure that you remove those licenses after the 30-day trial is over. It’s less confusing that way.
So Much Change All The Time
The list above is only a snapshot of what happened during February 2023. The volume and kind of change underlines the value of a living book. It’s tough to keep text updated but after 93 monthly updates we’re in a kind of a rhythm. At least, I think we are.
Support the work of the Office 365 for IT Pros team by subscribing to the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook. Your support pays for the time we need to track, analyze, and document the changing world of Microsoft 365 and Office 365.
The Office 365 for IT Pros writing team is pleased to announce the availability of monthly update #93 for the Office 365 for IT Pros eBook. Subscribers to the EPUB/PDF version can download the updated files from Gumroad.com while Kindle subscribers must contact Amazon support to ask them to release the updates. Please consult our FAQ for more information about obtaining updated files.
Update #92 includes changes to many chapters. More details about the major changes covered this month are in our change log. However, it’s important to realize that we do not document every small change made in chapters. For instance, if we rewrite a paragraph to improve its clarity or make a point more forcibly, we might not note that fact. It’s all part of the constant maintenance we perform for the book.
User Feedback
We love receiving feedback from readers and were happy to receive several notes in January that helped us to improve the book. If you find something that doesn’t seem right or could be clearer, let us know by sending email to me. Before you do, please check the latest update to make sure that the fault exists there. When you write, it’s great if you include the chapter name, the heading where the problem exists, and details of why you think we’ve got something wrong.

It’s a great feeling to know that our work gets to so many places. We know that Office 365 is available in many more countries (Microsoft says 249 different markets), so we’ve still got some room to grow.
Microsoft 365 Security for IT Pros
On 16 January 2023, the team that takes care of the Microsoft 365 Security for IT Pros eBook released their 2023 edition. We don’t have anything to do with the Security book, which is staffed by a team of competent individuals that don’t need our help. We like to think that the Security book learned from our processes and procedures, but that’s about the limit of the connection. If you want to contact the security book team, head over to their website.
Time Running Out to Upgrade Azure AD PowerShell Scripts
We’ve invested a lot of time to continually improve and expand the coverage of the Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK in Chapter 23 of Office 365 for IT Pros. PowerShell is a critical automation tool for Microsoft 365 tenant administrators and we are very conscious that time is running out to upgrade scripts written using cmdlets from the Azure AD, Azure AD Preview, and MSOL (Microsoft Online Services) modules. Although the formal deadline to retire these modules is June 30, 2023, the license management cmdlets will stop working from March 31, 2023, after Microsoft 365 switches to a new licensing platform.
Make sure that your scripts are ready for the transition. Migrations are always painful, but at least if you understand the technology and understand how the Graph works, you can take on the task of switching out old cmdlets with confidence. Before you do, be sure to read the sections in Chapter 23 that deal with the Graph and the Graph SDK. We’ll continue to update our coverage by adding new examples to Chapter 23 to help people through the migration with confidence.

Did you know that Power Automate has a Date Time action that can easily convert, and format time zones in one action?
Why is this important? Power Automate natively uses UTC as its time zone, as well as most SharePoint sites. Using an action can be easier than using expressions.
