Custom Script Setting in SharePoint & OneDrive Removed
Last week, we published a blog discussing Microsoft retiring SharePoint Add-Ins. In that blog, we briefly discussed how the Classic Mode for Custom Scripts has been affected by that change. The Custom Script setting in SharePoint and OneDrive has already been removed – the change took place in May 2024.

Additionally, the NoScriptSite setting will be configured to True for all existing sites except for specific site templates. How Will The Removal of Custom Script Settings Affect My Organization?

In this blog post, I will describe my first experience trying to use the new module.
