Bugs Killed

Windows

SharePoint file was not staying up to date

A file was not syncing correctly and was showing as out of date. The technician fixed it by creating a new copy of the file, renaming the old copy, and copying the original permissions to the replacement.

Killed once by someone from XL.net, on 2026-10-13.

Affects

Apps

  • SharePoint

What you see

  • Files were reported as not up to date.
  • The affected SharePoint file was not syncing correctly.

Why it happens

Suspected The original file was likely stuck in a bad sync state in SharePoint.

When it shows up

A single file in SharePoint stops staying current, but the library and permissions still need to remain the same.

You are in this case if:

  • The same file is shown as out of date in SharePoint.
  • The replacement copy needs the same access level as the original file.
