If you’re working with SharePoint or OneDrive, you might already know how powerful they are for collaboration and document management. But did you know that appending specific URL endings to your site URLs can grant you direct access to hidden gems? Here’s a list of some useful URL endings that you can use to navigate SharePoint and OneDrive like a pro. Some are pretty well hidden like the preservation hold library.
These can be appended to a site URL after e.g. sites/sitename, or the full OneDrive URL ending e.g. /personal/[username]_[domain]_[TLD]/Documents.
