Postope Designer 2010 Workflow Engine Retirement
On 6th July 2020, it was suddenly announced that SharePoint 2010 workflow engine is going to stop working by November 2020.
For at least a few of my clients it will represent a catastrophe.
Our suggestion is to push back the retirement date to a more reasonable date. For example, match if with SharePoint Designer 2013 support lifecycle or with InfoPath support lifecycle.
Large organizations depend on clear sunsetting timelines. Announcement that leaves them only four months to react is completely unrealistic. Organizations need to plan resources, budget, hire SharePoint SME’s and involve business owners that rely on these workflows…1,741 votesdeclined ·

We’ve been working one on one with customers deeply impacted by this change and encourage people to reach out to support if they have special circumstances. However, we wanted to provide clarity that our policy will not be changing and our previously communicated timelines will continue. In that regard, we will be retiring 2010 Workflows on November 1st, 2020 in SharePoint Online. After November 1st, 2020, while existing 2010 workflows will stop to run, users can still open and view their workflows in SharePoint Designer.

Get in SharePoint Online the ULS entries for 'your' correlation id
In Office 365 / SPO you cannot access the ULS logs to lookup the logged information on error situation. Only option is to contact Microsoft Support. This is cumbersome and takes elapse time, hindering your progress. Required a secure option to on-the-fly retrieve the ULS entries related to 'your' correlation id (checked against the tenant for which the user has authenticated)

Unfortunately and for various reasons including privacy we are unable to provide the ULS logs. However, we are reviewing how we can improve the experience if an error does occur (with an associated Correlation Id).

create a SharePoint 2016 foundation
after the last ignite I have read that there will be no SharePoint 2016 Foundation.
I suggest you create a foundation Version of the SharePoint 2016, because there are many customers who want to use the foundation.130 votesdeclined ·AdminSharePoint UserVoice Admin

Thanks for your feedback! Although we appreciate your time and effort to give us this feedback, it’s not something we’re planning to do right now.
Three days ago, we announced the General Availability of SharePoint Server 2016. Read here to learn more about the announcement: https://blogs.office.com/2016/05/04/sharepoint-server-2016-your-foundation-for-the-future/
