If you’re an Office365 user, you will probably have noticed by now that the new look & feel dubbed ‘modern’ (which is a stupid name, but aight…) is slowly but steadily making it’s way into more and more parts of the overall experience.

I ran into a stubborn error message trying to connect to a catalog list defined on another site collection. The error was: Some tagging field(s) “owstaxidSector,owstaxidRegion,owstaxidProductx0020Class,” in the shared catalog could not be found in search schema.

When setting up a second SharePoint farm for disaster recovery purposes, there are all kinds of things to take into consideration. Most of those are perfectly covered in other blogs and on TechNet. With the new app add-in model though, there is one additional factor to take into account: appsadd-ins! When in case of a disaster
