New infographic: document circle of life
"Where should I store my files?" and "What's the difference between SharePoint and OneDrive?" If you get these questions a lot, this infographic could seriously help build a standard lifecycle for files and documents. Also applicable to Teams, Outlook Groups, and Yammer, since they use SharePoint in the background.Linkbelow for full-size version. http://icsh.pt/DocCircleOfLifeOffice 365 Groups (aka Microsoft 365 Groups) Recap from Microsoft Ignite 2019
As we come to the close of the month of May, which would have normally rounded out Microsoft Ignite the Tour, I just wanted to share the link to our Office 365 Groups (aka Microsoft 365 Groups) recap from Ignite 2019 in Orlando. This post has several useful links which cover the new innovations and feature improvements announced this year. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/office-365-blog/office-365-groups-ignite-recap/ba-p/1036796 Looking forward to another year of innovation with Microsoft 365 Groups!

The experience deleting Office 365 Groups varies widely depending on each tool/end-point. Some thoughts on this disconnected experience and samples for how each tool does it. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/office-365-groups-deletion-needs-fixing-kevin-crossman/Periodic Table of Office 365 is now dynamic and web-based
The Periodic Table of Office 365 is now web-based, clickable with app descriptions, available in seven languages, and embeddable. That's right, you can have a live version right in your intranet or website -- just like what you see below! Check it out and make sure to give us feedback. (Just remember, it's in BETA.) Never heard of it? This graphic is a popular resource for explaining WHAT Office 365 is to IT, users, management, you name it. You can't talk about something if you can't define it, right?

We have created an O365 Group, and it defaulted to Exchange based conversations. Now that the users have been exposed to the Group, they want to use Yammer as their conversation tool instead of the exchange mailbox. Is there any way to convert an existing group from exchange to Yammer conversations? We do not need to move the conversation content. If you're about to tell me I need to create an entirely new O365 Group from Yammer, I'd like to hear howtomigratecontent. The group already has built a SharePoint site and uploaded a lot of documents.Office 365 Groups with IDN e-mail addresess
When the user starts creating new Office 365 Group (Microsoft Teams/Yammer) and he chooses international display name of this group in Yammer or Teams app, the group e-mail address is created in international IDN format. For example, we are in Czech and user choose "Žlutí koníci", it does not offer creating"zluti-konici@tenant" like that, but it create"xn--lutkonci-e2ad10n@tenant" which is not really usable address for external members and to write down and some clients does not support IDN yet. We can renemaethe group, but users creating this and it starts broking naming convention. Is there some option to disable creating names and e-mail address in IDN format for Groups/Teams?O365 Group Team site and hashtags
I'm so confused about these new offerings from O365, and users are starting to ask me questions I can't answer. First of all, I find it VERY confusing that there's something called "Teams" in the app launcher, I don't even understand what that is or when it should be used. Then there's O365 Groups, these come with a SharePoint team site, but that's different from "Teams" (I think). And we've always had SharePoint teamsites, that's what we've been calling them for years, why do they all have similar names?? Am I just using the incorrect terminology?? Anyway, my actual question came from a user, who has an O365 group SharePoint site, and wants to be able to use hashtags. His team has been posting News items and they're trying to use hashtags. That appears to be the wrong application for using hashtags, as far as I know, they only work with Yammer and SharePoint newsfeeds.I suggested they create a Yammer group and add the feed to their team's home page, is that the appropriate response?What is the approximate time between a Yammer Group creation and O365 resources syncing?
Hello, Initially I was under the impression that when a new Yammer group was created the O365 Groups would immediately sync. A few users have reported that they have created Yammer groups and they are not seeing the O365 Groups resources show up. I wanted to check if there is a time delay between both before I proceed to opening an MS ticket. In the attached screenshot I can see that they are showing as "preparing" but it's been well over a few hours since the group created. Thanks!
