It’s been already a while since Microsoft introduced the new SharePoint App Bar. Information architects praise it as “The Solution” for global navigation.
The truth is that it will be soon neglected and forgotten by your end-users. Let me give you some insights why.
TLDR: To enable this feature in Office 365. Upload a 3D model saved as a GLB file to any document library and you are able to preview it live in your browser.
The more exciting story is now how to use technology but why and what are the possible application.
Microsoft recently released new design assets to create experiences using the latest Microsoft Fluent design language. These design assets are available as free downloads on the Office UI Fabric dedicated web site.
Most of their asset is available for design tools such as Figma, Sketch, and some are still available for Adobe XD.
A while a GitHub issue in the sp-dev-docs came to my attention, where someone had a problem titled as Can’t get grid system working using office fabric ui react. I took a closer look on why it is so challenging to get the grid system running right now and in SPFx projects in general. There are some catches you need to be aware.

A common practice these days is to organise site collection in hub sites. It gives you a great possibility to arrange your content more dynamically than ever before in SharePoint. On specific site type, we are dealing in any SharePoint project, for example, are project sites.
These project workspaces only have a defined start and end date. A site collection like this can be useful for a couple of weeks, to month or in case of long-running projects for years. What to do when the workspace reached his end of life?
During last weekend I already teased a web part named ‘Panthema’. I was a bit surprised by the interest in this helpful tool for developer, consultant and everyone who has to manage themes in SharePoint on Office 365. I also think it helps a lot in debugging the colours used.
Many projects that use gulp as the build system mostly implement a particular gulp task that is name ‘dist’ for distribution. This task package and bundle everything for production use.
Can we have a gulp task like this in SPFx too? Yes, we can have this too. First, let us take a look at the steps you need to do when you like to create a clean ‘sppkg’ file in the SharePoint Framework.
