Standards are good and sometimes you want some standards in SharePoint Online. A useful tool is the Content Type Hub. You should know it from SharePoint 2010 and 2013. Whenever you need it, you can create one, by activating the Site Collection Feature "Content Type Syndication Hub". This feature allows you to publish your Site Columns and Site Content Types to every other site Collection. So you might thing you can build your hub in SharePoint Online by activating the feature on a new Site Collection. If you do so you will get an error. It tells your proxy is not working correctly, but this is not true. In fact there is already an hub and you cannot build a second one. The hub is hidden so you cannot see it in the Site Collection Overview in your admin center. You need to know the URL: https://yourprefix.sharepoint.com /sites/contenttypehub  

Since SharePoint 2013 you can use REST calls to get or set data. But if you firing a call against a list with 101 items you will get only 100. The cause is based at the REST interface. To reduce server overload the result is limited - it is called server paging. That is pretty smart, but what if you need all results? There are two ways of solving this problem. The first and easy one is to set the $top flag. So you add ?$top=101 to your REST call and you will get all 101 items. This works fine until you have 102 items.

Today I had a problem with the "Navigate Up" button in SharePoint 2010. The server moved once to a new URL, but the navigation was still pointing to the old one. The internet told me to change the masterpage.

Have you ever been trying to load JavaScript dynamicly? That is a cool way to reduce the initial loading time, but there are way more usecases for it. The question is: how to do it?

In some cases the "Edit Page" button is not visible too make sure no one makes some unallowed changes. This is a nice security hack, but what if you need to edit the page? There is an easy way to open the page in edit mode and that is the URL. Add one of the following extensions to your URL, right after the '.aspx'. To change the public view of the page add this: ?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2 example: http://sp/Pages/default.aspx ?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2 To change a personal view of the page add this (only if it is enabled): ?PageView=Personal&ToolPaneView=2 example: http://sp/Pages/default.aspx ?PageView=Personal&ToolPaneView=2
