🆕 #KashBox article, "SharePoint: Top 5️⃣ new, useful features of 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣" - Sharing the ones that made me think “that IS helpful!” Plus, honorable mentions, a few winners from OneDrive/Teams, and the RIPs.

Read and share 📄 open.substack.com/pub/kashbox/p/…

They say sharing is caring, and in 2025, SharePoint cared a lot—to give us useful, innovative features. This list focuses on new tech that arrived in 2025 AND fits the category of most useful; with a slight bias from your author here about the ones I actually use most (or oft recommend) in my day-to-day personal use and consultative guidance.

So, grab your favorite beverage and let me scroll-walk you down through my top five SharePoint features of 2025—the ones that made me think “that helps!” And in the pace of change, choosing five was tough. So, the article rounds out at the end with honorable mentions, a few related tech winners from OneDrive and Teams, and yes, a moment of silence for products and services we lost this past year. #RIP
