Audience targeting in SharePoint is a powerful way to tailor what users see, making intranets and sites more relevant to different groups. While it doesn’t replace permissions, it helps streamline navigation, highlight important content, and improve the overall user experience. In this episode of Ask Sympraxis, the team talks about how audience targeting works, where it can be applied, and what to keep in mind when using it.

In this episode of Ask Sympraxis, we take a deep dive into Microsoft’s retirement of Classic Publishing Site creation and why it matters. We explain what publishing sites are, which related features are being retired, how to find them in your environment, and what you should be using instead. If your organization still relies on these classic templates, this change will affect you.

In this Ask Sympraxis session, we explore the upcoming retirement of SharePoint 2013 workflows and the deprecation of several other legacy technologies. This discussion dives into what’s being phased out, the retirement timeline, how to assess your environment, tools to help with the transition, and modern alternatives. If your organization still relies on these aging components, now is the time to prepare.

If you’ve been noticing shifts in design tools or functionality and want to stay in the loop, we’ve rounded up the key updates below.

Exploring the Maturity Model for Copilot Agents In this episode of Ask Sympraxis, we explore the evolving landscape of Microsoft Copilot Agents - specifically, how organizations can think about Copilot agents through a maturity model lens. Microsoft’s messaging is shifting, focusing more on agents that accomplish specific tasks rather than Copilot as one monolithic thing. This prompted us to consider how teams might approach agent adoption and development in stages.
