Open webpart maintenance directly in SharePoint

At times we would be faced with situation that the page does not load, due to some webpart issue. In SharePoint 2010, there might be a link in the error message to open the webpart maintenance page directly. In certain cases, it is not provided.

So to open webpart maintenance page directly from url just append ?contents=1 at the end of the URL of respective page and SharePoint will open the Web Part Maintenance Page for it.

For e.g, if the url is http://sharepointserver/sites/pages.aspx, make the url http://sharepointserver/sites/pages.aspx?contents=1 to open the webpart maintenance page.

Note - the user need to have edit access on the page to open the webpart maintenance page.

How to link to Download a copy option in Office 365/SharePoint 2013

At times it is required to have the option to save a copy of a document uploaded in SharePoint document library, in a page or a webpart. The url to get the save option for a doc is - http:// site /_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl= url-of-document-in-library Change the bold text with the actual url, i.e., with the site url and the url to the doc in the doc library.

Examples of utility function in SPD 2010 workflows

In SPD workflows, under Actions, there is a set of Utility functions. Using the substring function, a string can be trimmed from the beginning/end/or from a position, with or without specifying the length.
