I got the following message when I tried to use SharePoint designer 2010: “Microsoft SharePoint designer cannot be used to edit web sites on servers different from SharePoint Server 2010…”
We have not received any message that we have been migrated. So as far as I am concerned we are still on 2010. If you click on the url in the message you are advised to download and use SPD 2013.
Is that a wise decision to follow up?
Are we now on 2013? Microsoft didn’t inform us. How can we know? Front end still is 2010.
Any ideas / suggestions are more than welcome!
Hi
“Under the covers” most of SharePoint online has been upgraded to SharePoint 2013. What has not happened with everyone is that the UI has not been upgraded to SharePoint 2013. This will happen over the next year. For obvious reasons if Microsoft turned on everybody’s UI onto SP2013 at once their helpdesk would get swamped, so they doing the upgrade gradually. You will get a series of emails from Microsoft when you are due to be upgraded and when the upgrade actually happens. You then have a certain amount of time to switch on the SharePoint 2013 UI (Site Collection Upgrade) before it is forced onto you.
