Marijn Somers @marijnsomers.bsky.social · 11d

Marijn for once, does something useful (in Steve's house).A new Modern Workplace workshop arises, so that means the boys will be live workshopping around it. Marijn tells his Copilot horror stories. The boys end with such a unique whisky that only 1 bottle exists. www.office365distilled.com/173

Office 365 Distilled | EP171: Wild West Frontier

youtu.be

Marijn Somers @marijnsomers.bsky.social · Aug 27

"You never listen to me", might be the start of an old-fashioned shoot-out in the wild wild west. Thankfully, the #Office365Distilled boys are much more civilized (so they say) and talk about the Frontier Firm.

Office templates gebruiken in SharePoint bibliotheken

Marijn Somers @marijnsomers.bsky.social · Aug 18

Lang geleden maakte ik een filmpje over hoe je Office templates vanuit SharePoint kan beheren, maar in Office kan tevoorschijn toveren. In dit veel te laat filmpje laat ik zien hoe je het ook kan doen vanuit SharePoint bibliotheken, dus vanuit de nieuw knop in SharePoint.

Marijn Somers @marijnsomers.bsky.social · Aug 17

The #Office365Distilled boys had it with M365. Done. Dusted. But what are alternatives? If you want to use spreadsheets, run an intranet or collaborate, what are the real serious contenders? Let's find out, and have a great Irish whisky (yes, without an e!!).

Waanzinnig mooie pagina templates in SharePoint

Marijn Somers @marijnsomers.bsky.social · Jun 25

Bij Microsoft doen ze nog meer hun best om je intranet niet meer op #SharePoint te laten lijken! Met de nieuwe pagina templates die onlangs zijn uitgebracht, kun je eenvoudig beginnen met een prachtig ontwerp en dit snel aanpassen tot een fantastisch eindresultaat.

Handig? Ik vind zeker van wel!
