  • New release – Social Squared SPFx Discussion Board 2.5.0.0

Our latest release of Social Squared is now available for SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams and includes the following improvements.

  1. Notification Emails from within Microsoft teams. This update uses Microsoft Teams deep linking to posts from the subscription email. If you are subscribed to a forum or to a topic within Social Squared, any new topics or replies to topics will send an email linking back to the post from within the email. Note, that the link to the post is generated from where the new topic or reply to the topic was generated. So, if a topic that you are subscribed to is replied to from within SharePoint rather than Teams, the URL construction will take place within SharePoint and will take you (the subscriber) to the SharePoint page to view the reply.

As organisations embrace Microsoft Copilot and AI, permissions management has become more important than ever. The challenge isn’t that Copilot creates new security risks—it simply shines a brighter light on the permissions, sharing links, and access decisions that already exist within your Microsoft 365 environment. In this first article of our governance series, I explore the roles of Site Owners and SharePoint Administrators, the risks of oversharing, and how tools such as SharePoint Advanced Management, Data Access Governance, Access Reviews, sharing controls, and sensitivity labels can help organisations prepare for the age of AI.

Copilot is about to expose the permissions problems many organisations never realised they had. In this webinar, Brett Lonsdale explores why traditional IT-led governance models are no longer enough, how oversharing and stale content create serious AI risks, and why empowering SharePoint Site Owners is now essential for Copilot readiness and Microsoft 365 governance.
