Suppose you are sharing a confidential file externally, of course, you will not want the external user to edit the file or download it or share it again with others. In this article, we are going to see how we can achieve that. This is applicable to both OneDrive for Business Online as well as with the app (OneDrive files synced on your system). OneDrive for Business users have the option to restrict the level of access. Anyone – gives access to anyone with the link, whether received directly or forwarded. This can also include external users as well. People in your Organization – give anyone in your organization who has the link access, whether received directly or forwarded. People with Existing access – Can only be used by the people who already have access to the document. Specific People – gives access only to people you specify. This cannot be accessed if forwarded to others who don’t have access already. If you see any of these options greyed out, your admins might have restricted the options from Admin Center. Steps 1: Sharing process for the confidential files. Go to OneDrive for Business, select a file you want to share by selecting the circle, you can also pick multiple items to share them together. Select Share at the top of the page or beside the file name there is a small Share icon (See above screenshot). Select “Anyone with the link can edit” to customize the option. You can see the other options as well, now select “Specific People”, uncheck Allow Editing and toggle ON the Block download option and click Apply. Enter the email address of this user with whom you want to share this file and click Send. Steps 2: What happens when the external user receives the file. The user received the email with a file link and it is clearly indicated that this link will not work if forwarded to someone who doesn’t have access to this file already. When the user will try to open the file, it will ask for verification and users will need to click on Send Code. The code will be generated and sent to the user via email. The user will enter the code and verify it. The file will open after it is verified. Users won’t be able to edit or download the file. If this user will forward this document to another user, the other user will be asked to log in with the credentials to which the file was initially shared, hence securing the file if it gets forwarded. In this way, you can share confidential documents with external users and hence securing the data. Hope this article helps to achieve the same.

  Introduction : In this blog, we will see, why the Ms Flows are not getting triggered after Completion full copy of the environment. Use Case : It was requirement of our Project to Copy UAT environment To Dev but after Completion of full copy, None of the Flows in Power Automate were getting triggered. We tried the below solutions : Import and Export the flows and Change the Environment  of the flows but this also failed. Created a new Flow, but this also failed. Solution : Go to the https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/ -> Select Environment -> Edit and Check the Administration Mode of the Environment. Note : The Administration mode of the Environment should be disabled. If the administration mode is enabled, all the Asynchronous Processes will not get triggered.   Conclusion: By doing this we were able to trigger the flows. Hope this will help you while Copying one Environment to the Other.

When a product can be sold, purchased or stored in more than one unit of measure, it’s important that you set up the correct unit of measure conversions. I recently came across an issue where the unit of measure conversions I created in HQ was not showing up on POS. As you can see in the above image I kept receiving this error. Finally I fixed it after a lot of research and trials. The issue was very minor but it took a lot of time to detect it. Go to units and make sure the language selected in Translated unit descriptions is similar at store level and in workers form as well and then you should not face this issue Hope this helps!
