SharePoint Online - Mapping Masterpage Directory

If the URL is this:
https://COMPANYNAME.sharepoint.com/sites/SITENAME/_catalogs/masterpage/

The networked mapped location is this:
\\COMPANYNAME.sharepoint.com@ssl@443\sites\SITENAME\_catalogs\masterpage

Gotchas:
  • Internet Explorer must have the site in the trusted intranet zone. Discuss with network administrator as this may involve editing group policy.
  • You must sign into the site with Internet Explorer, and may have to allow IE to remember automatic login.

SharePoint Online - Promoted Links Nuances



  1. By default it will create a very limited view of the tiles that only spans horizontally. It will be limited to a maximum of 30 items. You also can not modify this view. To get around this maximum item limitation create a NEW standard view. Modify the new view to meet your needs.
  2. The tiles will only scroll horizontally. A simple fix for this is to add the following CSS to a custom page via a script webpart. This will target the promoted links webpart by hiding the arrow navigation and forcing the tiles to be a bit more responsive.

    .ms-promlink-header{
    display:none;
    }
    .ms-promlink-body {
    width: 100%;
    }
