Unfortunately, details on exactly how Safari will work is non-existent.īecause SharePoint was originally coded as Internet Explorer-specific, some functionality requires the use of ActiveX browser add-ins. Microsoft’s documentation of browser support is located at. Supporting software (Microsoft Office, Adobe, etc.).There are a variety of variables that can potentially impact a user’s experience with browser software. I decided to run tests of common “end-user” actions using a Mac and Safari to try to nail down what differences and limitations my client might expect using SharePoint Online versus what they might expect using Internet Explorer 11 on a PC. In this case, a client who has a large number of Macs deployed in its environment asked recently what it means when Microsoft says current versions of Safari are “supported.” After searching the Microsoft site and the internet in general, it became clear that there’s very little data as to what “supported” means.
Fortunately, times are changing, and these mixed environments can work well together. Apple and PC, working together in the same space.
If you are like most of our clients, you have both Windows and iOS devices in your environment.
