    Also at issue is a user can only be a member of up to 1024 groups.

    We really need a way administratively to unlock a file. Telling users they have to wait for an arbitrary timeout period is definitely not well-received.

    Agreed, just dealt with this yesterday. There is no obvious end user solution to this, and the wait period is arbitrary. The only way we were able to unlock the file was to open it in the Online version of the app, do a Save As with the same filename, then close the file. Not sure if that's what did it, or if the lock timed out coincidentally.

    A consolidated admin view of where published content types are being used is still being evaluated, but for folks voting for the related use case of “better creation and management of content types” please refer to site designs (aka.ms/spsitedesigns) as a modern mechanism to create/apply content types to site libraries. We are also looking at how this could be more easily supported from hub sites.
