How to sync a SharePoint Web Part with Teams?

I have developed a SharePoint WebPart, this component has several properties that I can modify from SharePoint: width, height...
I have installed the same component in Teams and works fine but I don't know how can I change this properties in Teams.
Logically, I think that by changing the values in Sharepoint, they should automatically refresh in Teams but it's not like that.
On the other hand, If I try to click on the "Sync button with Teams", I don't why never works and throws an error.

Somebody know how what can I do to sync this parameters?
#vcima, Once you make changes, you need to build it, bundle it and create new package.
After package creation you need to upload this package. Check following steps to upload package
Go to SharePoint Admin >> Open Apps >> It will take you to App catalog >> Go to Distributed Apps - you will see all the packages
Just delete the existing appropriate package and upload the new package. After that from File menu, sync with Teams
for more detailed steps please check this documentation.
Once you upload your webpart package in sharepoint app catalog, You can click on sync with teams button in catalog. Your webpart will be synced with teams and will be visible in teams as tab. However You can edit the webpart within sharepoint site itself but editing a webpart within teams tab is not possible.Please take a look at Making the SPFx webpart available within Teams tab

Sharepoint Online - How set Document to open in Preview mode by default

I am working in SharePoint online and office 365. This is causing auto-save to save and change the modified date whenever a document is opened by someone with Edit privileges even if nothing is changed. I would like to set SharePoint to open documents in preview mode by default, then if the user wants to edit they can click to edit. Ideally, I would want to control this at the folder level but the site level would probably work.
You can try below option so that users will be forced to check out a document from a document library before they can make any edits. To enable automatic check out, go to Library Settings > Versioning Settings and switch Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? to Yes. Click OK
check out a document in SharePoint
Next time anyone tries to edit any document in the library – they will be forced to check out a document.
If you log into the admin centre and select sharepoint in the left hand pane. Then select "Classic Sharepoint Admin Centre"
Select settings in the left hand pane.
Then next to preview features, select Enable preview features
Any issues just let me know

How to make full backup of Sharepoint Online?

Is there any way to make a full backup of Sharepoint Online web site based on Office 365 without third-party tools? Tried to google it, but found only ways to manually backup list or libraries. I'm need to save user properties, permissions, webparts, etc.
Thanks for help!
Since it is SharePoint online, you won't be able to perform a full-backup as you'd be able to do with Backup-SPSite.
However, you can save your site as a template. If your publishing feature is enabled for this site, you'll need to enable saving the website as a template via SharePoint Designer. Under the "Site" tab, select “Site Options”, find "SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled" and set to "true". Then
add this to your site's url:
/_layouts/15/savetmpl.aspx
Fill out and submit the form. In my experience, that should take about 10 minutes, or the working on it screen might never change. If the later happens, you can check for your solution on this page:
/_catalogs/solutions/Forms/AllItems.aspx
This option might not work if your site is over 50MB, so you might need to forgo checking the option that allows including your list content in this backup.

SharePoint designer workflow not changing after publish

I'm working on SharePoint workflow (SharePoint 2010) in SharePoint designer 2010. I was published it many times without problems. But after many publishes (I thing 30) SharePoint stop to changing workflow (I published it without any error and I can find new workflow release in SharePoint web interface).
I published new version (with new commands) but workflow still use old one. But when I modified one of commands which was in workflow previously the modification will appear in next run. I need to add to workflow new commands. My only option is to rewrite whole workflow to new one. But this is much complicated workflow and rewriting takes me long time. Is this behavior normal? Is it some bug? is there any patch or workaround?
This happens most of the time due to the caching mechanism in SharePoint/SharePoint Designer. What you need to do is the following:
Close your SharePoint Designer
Navigate to the following directory: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
Delete everything in this directory
Navigate to the following directory:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
Delete everything in this directory
Open SharePoint Designer and try to publish your workflow again.
Everything should now work.
For SharePoint Designer 2013 you need to do the following steps:
Go to File > Options > General > Application Options
In the General tab, under the General header, check if the "Cache site data across SharePoint Designer sessions” is ticked. If it is, unchecked it.
Open your SharePoint Designer again and try to publish your workflows.
There is an easy workaround: You need to enable major versioning for the Workflows list. By default, that list is not visible but you still can get to the admin page:
Open SP Designer
Goto All Files
Right-Click Workflows list -> Properties
On the ribbon click Administration Web Page
On the admin page go to Versioning Settings
Enable major versioning
Save your workflow

File not displaying in sharepoint 2010 library all items

Hi, I have a document library in sharepoint 2010 foundation.when i have uploaded a file into a document library from browser, it is showing a message"uploaded successfully" but it is not showing in document library all items.but when am open the site in IE and in library tab am clicking in file explorer button, in that file explorer the doc file is there.but in site -> doc library all items the file is not displaying. Am the administrator the site.
If your library has versioning with minor versions enabled, uploaded files will be drafts. It may be the sort of confusing case that even as administrator, you do not have the rights to see drafts.
In the Library Settings, open the Versioning settings menu. Try setting the Draft Item Security option to all with read or edit permissions. Ensure that you own the respective rights (personally or as a member of an appropriate group).
Changing this option solved the problem for me. However, I experienced this setting as being kind of weird: Setting the option back to its former state (in which I did not see the documents) did not make the documents disappear again.
