Actions:

Demos:

  • Change Page Layout Type Command Set Extension – in SPO you can easily change page layout of one or multiple site pages from article to home or home to article.   The Command targets pages on Site Pages list.  Updates pages with supported layouts and pages not presently checked-out by others.   Essentially remove/add page title placeholder.  With extension installed, select pages to change, change layout dialog comes up, select pages, click Save and done.    

  • Microsoft Clarity Application Customizer – an SPFx extension that allows you to add Clarity page activity tracking capabilities to your Modern SharePoint site pages to gage user interaction.  The extension is added to the site’s App Catalog and injects a Microsoft Clarity JavaScript into site pages.  Setup:  1) Create account and setup a new project on Clarity site and 2) Deploy extension to your SharePoint site.    

  • Improvements to the Community SPFx Samples Gallery – Latest developments making it easier to access and use PnP code samples. View code structure, complete with syntax highlighting, directly within GitHub without downloading it. Download individual samples as a ZIP instead of cloning the entire repository. Samples now have remote containers, allowing you to run and build in a portable environment pre-configured with all necessary dependencies unique to each.
