SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform
Description of the change. Some features of the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform that are dependent on Windows Workflow Foundation 3.0 are deprecated in SharePoint.
**Reason for the change.**SharePoint introduces a new SharePoint Workflow platform that is built upon Windows Workflow Foundation 4.0 and that is integrated with Workflow Manager 1.0.
Migration path. In SharePoint Designer 2013, you can still create a SharePoint 2010 Workflow and use all of the SharePoint 2010 Workflow features by choosing the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform.
You can also integrate features from the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform into the new SharePoint Workflow platform. To do this, create a SharePoint 2010 Workflow by choosing the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform; create a SharePoint Workflow by choosing the SharePoint Workflow platform; and then use the Start a list workflow and Start a site workflow actions in the SharePoint Workflow to call the SharePoint 2010 Workflow.
The following features are available only on the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform:

SharePoint page-design features
The following feature is not available in SharePoint.
Design view and Split view
**Description of the change.**SharePoint Designer 2010 has three views for editing HTML and ASPX pages: Code view, Design view, and Split view. Design view and Split view are removed from SharePoint Designer 2013. The removal of Design view and Split view affects the features of SharePoint Designer 2013 that are used for editing web parts and master pages. If you edit pages in SharePoint Designer 2013, you must use Code view.
Download Microsoft Sharepoint Designer
Reason for the change. Compared to current versions of Internet Explorer, Design view is an older technology that does not support many new HTML5 and CSS tags.
Migration path. If you edit pages in Code view, you can press F12 to preview the page in the browser. Alternatively, you can use Visual Studio to edit pages.
If you want to visually design or brand your site, and you want a WYSIWYG ('what you see is what you get') page-editing experience, you can use any professional HTML editor, such as Microsoft Expression Web. Then you can import your HTML files into SharePoint by using the new Design Manager, which is a feature included in publishing sites, such as the Publishing Portal Site Collection site template.

- Web browser support
Web browser support
Safari
Safari is the only browser that Microsoft officially supports for use with SharePoint on OS X clients, and offers the best experience. For limitations on Microsoft's support of SharePoint with Safari, see Planbrowser support (SharePoint Server 2010). The Silverlight plug-in is required for advanced user interface controls.
Normally, Kerberos or NTLMv2 authentication is required to access SharePoint at IU. Safari supports both Kerberos and NTLMv2 with no additional configuration required. If Kerberos is available, it will be used; if it is not, NTLMv2 will be used.
Some additional features may not be supported with non-Windows browsers. For instance, Internet Explorer for Windows is the only browser that supports ActiveX, so any ActiveX control will generally not work with OS X browsers.
Other browsers
Chrome and Firefox for OS X are not officially supported by Microsoft for use with SharePoint. However, you can access SharePoint using one of these browsers if you take some additional steps.
Normally, Kerberos or NTLMv2 authentication is required to access SharePoint at IU. Chrome and Firefox for OS X currently support only Kerberos authentication, but by default, this setting is not enabled. To use Chrome or Firefox with SharePoint:
- Authentication using Kerberos
- Obtain a Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) by doing one of the following:
- Log into ADS with your Network ID username and passphrase to bind your Mac to IU's Active Directory Service. Once you have logged in, you'll automatically have a Kerberos TGT.
- Launch Ticket Viewer. For details, see Authenticate against IU's Kerberos realm in macOS
IU's Kerberos servers are only accessible to computers that are on the IU network. To use Kerberos authentication from off campus, you must first establish a VPN connection. - Configure your browser.
- Chrome: Be sure Chrome is not running, and then open the Terminal app and enter: Chrome will now automatically authenticate to SharePoint (as long as you have a Kerberos TGT).
- Firefox
- Open Firefox, and enter
about:config
in the address bar. - Dismiss the warning that appears, and double-click network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris.
- Enter the following:
Firefox will now automatically authenticate to SharePoint (as long as you have a Kerberos TGT). - Open Firefox, and enter
- Chrome: Be sure Chrome is not running, and then open the Terminal app and enter:
- Obtain a Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) by doing one of the following:
- Access SharePoint using IUanyWare
- Log into IUanyWare.
- Click the Web & Mail icon, and then click the IUSharePoint icon.
- Enter the URL of your desired SharePoint site.
For more about using IUanyWare, see:
WebDAV support
If you have Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or later, you can use the Finder's
Go > Connect to Server
command to connect to SharePoint. In previous versions, you will only have read access to your site; write access is not available.For the following main WebDAV URLs, replace
sitename
with the name of your departmental or group site. For personal (My Site) sites, replace username
with your IU Network ID username.- Group site: https://www.sharepoint.iu.edu/sites/sitename
- My Site: https://my.sharepoint.iu.edu/personal/username
Consider these limitations enforced by SharePoint:
- You cannot store files larger than 1 GB.
- Filenames cannot begin or end with a period. Also, the following characters cannot be used in filenames: For more, see Microsoft Support's Information about thecharacters that you cannot use in site names, folder names, and filenames in SharePoint.
Microsoft Document Connection
The Documentation Connection application is not included in Microsoft Office 2016.
You can use Microsoft Document Connection (included in Office2011) to access files on a SharePoint site. This application is similar to SharePoint Workspace 2010 on Windows, and works as a middleman between the SharePoint site and the other Office applications on your Mac.
Using Microsoft Document Connection, you can:
- Read files
- Edit files
- Upload files
- Check files in and out
However, you cannot:
- Create folders
- Drag and drop folders from your local system to a SharePoint site
- Delete files
- Edit file metadata
- Edit live; you must click Refresh to see your changes
When adding a new SharePoint site to Microsoft Document Connection, use the WebDAV URLs listed above for departmental (i.e., group) and personal (My Site) sites.
Microsoft Office 2016
It is possible to open and save documents directly to SharePoint from Office 2016 for Mac OS X. In Word, Excel, or PowerPoint:
- In a Save window, click the Online Locations button, then click the +. In an Open window, click the + button.
- Click SharePoint
- Next to 'URL:' for the following URLs, replace
sitename
with the name of your departmental or group site. For personal (My Site) sites, replaceusername
with your IU Network ID username.- Group site: https://www.sharepoint.iu.edu/sites/sitename
- My Site: https://my.sharepoint.iu.edu/personal/username
- Click Next.
- Enter your IU username and passphrase when prompted for a 'User name:' and 'Password', then click Sign In.
- Your SharePoint site will be available under the SharePoint section of your open or save window.
