SharePoint’s role as an enterprise content management system may be an old-fashioned one, but that doesn’t mean the platform is frozen in stone. Over time, Microsoft adds new features, and deprecates and removes old ones. The company has even begun to spin off what were SharePoint features into separate applications.
As SharePoint transitions from one way of working to another, these changes often require us to rewrite and rework our applications and extension code. SharePoint is currently beginning one such transition, moving away from its own search APIs to a new model based on the Microsoft Graph.
