The SharePoint tools you need to get the job done faster!

Does your organisation have SharePoint sites with no owner?
It happens more often than you might think. People move on, projects finish, and sites can be left active with nobody responsible for permissions, access reviews, or ongoing management.
The new Orphaned Sites Report in DeliverPoint 6.2.0.0 helps you quickly find ownerless sites and assign responsibility, helping to reduce governance and security risks before they become bigger problems.
Join our upcoming webinar to see it in action and discover how DeliverPoint 6.2.0.0 can help you take back control of SharePoint governance. Register now:

Still have InfoPath forms?
You're not alone.
In this short video, we show how InfoPath forms and the data behind them can be migrated to Power Apps and SharePoint using Lightning Tools Form Migrator.
Even though the retirement date passed in July, we're still speaking to organisations who are surprised to learn that InfoPath has reached end of life and are unsure what to do with their forms and data.
If this sounds familiar, we offer a single-form migration trial, or you can book a 1-to-1 live demo with one of our experts to explore your options.

Two fantastic days in London with our partners, .
It was great to step away from boardrooms and conference halls for a couple of days, spend some quality time together, share ideas and strengthen relationships.
Along the way we climbed the O2 at sunset, enjoyed a Thames lunch cruise, and even squeezed in a morning run to Buckingham Palace!
Great partnerships are built on great products, but they're sustained by great people. We came away with stronger connections, fresh ideas and plenty of excitement about what we can achieve together.
A huge thank you to the Skybow team for a brilliant trip. Onwards and Upwards!

We're excited to be returning to CollabDays Portugal on 16 October as a Gold Sponsor!
This year's event takes place at ANJE in Porto, bringing together Microsoft professionals, MVPs, and community leaders for a full day of free learning, knowledge sharing, and networking.
If you're attending, be sure to stop by and say hello to Brett Lonsdale, who'll be representing Lightning Tools throughout the day. We'd love to chat about SharePoint, Microsoft 365 governance, forms, permissions management, and more.

Sharing content in Microsoft 365 is about to get easier with the introduction of Hero Links. But as sharing grows and orphaned SharePoint sites build up over time, it can become harder to keep track of who owns what and how content is being shared.
DeliverPoint helps you stay in control by identifying ownerless sites, reporting on Hero Links, and giving administrators the visibility they need to manage their environment with confidence.
Read our latest blog to learn more about these new Microsoft 365 capabilities and how DeliverPoint can help.

DeliverPoint 6.2.0.0 is coming in October, and so are Hero Links!
This release introduces three important improvements for SharePoint permissions and sharing governance:
🔗 Report and manage Microsoft Hero Links
Hero Links provide a single, controlled way to share a file. DeliverPoint now lets you report on and manage them alongside standard Sharing Links—helping you understand who has access, identify excessive or outdated permissions and reduce the risks associated with oversharing.
👤 Discover ownerless SharePoint sites
The new Orphaned Sites Report identifies sites without an accountable owner and enables you to assign one directly from DeliverPoint.
📋 More control for Site Owners
New SPFx fly-out menus give Site Owners access to more bulk reporting, permissions management, sharing and auditing tools—without cluttering the SharePoint command bar.

A few more highlights from this year's CollabDays Bletchley Park!
On Wednesday, Lightning Tools' Sandy Ussia delivered a session on M365 permissions and security with DeliverPoint, while later in the day João Ferreira took home our on-theme LEGO arcade pinball prize.
A huge thank you to all our sponsors, speakers and volunteers who made the event possible, along with https://hubs.ly/Q04yzyc10 for providing the event platform.
We were also treated to loaded fries from Happy Herefords, live ska, soul and funk from Lickin' Stick, and a fantastic Greek lunch from Hellente Symposium.
Already planning ahead? CollabDays Bletchley Park returns on 22 September 2027. Save the date!
Our next community event will be CollabDays Portugal on 16 October.

The party may be over, but CollabDays Bletchley Park is all go!
Huge thanks to Lickin' Stick for providing an incredible evening of jazz, funk, and soul at National Museum of Computing last night.
After a rapid room reset this morning, we were all set for the morning keynote and another day of fantastic community sessions.
Drop by and see the Lightning Tools team outside by the bar, and challenge us to a game on the pool table!
