-ApplyToNewDocumentLibraries is not taking effect inside Set-SPOSite

Question

I run this command to set the version limit for a site and to apply this to new and existing libraries:-

Set-SPOSite -Identity https://*.sharepoint.com -EnableAutoExpirationVersionTrim $false -MajorVersionLimit 15 -MajorwithMinorVersionsLimit 10 -ExpireVersionsAfterDays 300 -ApplyToNewDocumentLibraries -ApplyToExistingDocumentLibraries

but this script set the limit to existing libraries, but new libraries will still have the version limit from the tenant and not from the site .. so why the "-ApplyToNewDocumentLibraries" paramter inside the above script did not take impact?

Answer 1

Hi @john john Pter,

Try executing two commands separately:

Set-SPOSite -Identity https://*.sharepoint.com -EnableAutoExpirationVersionTrim $false -MajorVersionLimit 15 -MajorwithMinorVersionsLimit 10 -ExpireVersionsAfterDays 300 -ApplyToNewDocumentLibraries 

and

Set-SPOSite -Identity https://*.sharepoint.com -EnableAutoExpirationVersionTrim $false -MajorVersionLimit 15 -MajorwithMinorVersionsLimit 10 -ExpireVersionsAfterDays 300 -ApplyToExistingDocumentLibraries

Changes might take time to apply. New libraries created immediately after the command might not reflect updates.
