FAQs

What happens when my ShortPoint license expires?
For paid licenses, all pages remain visible to everyone after expiration. For trial licenses, designs become unpublished when the trial ends but stay in your pages. You can renew or purchase to re-publish and continue building. -
Does ShortPoint work with SharePoint Subscription Edition?
Yes, ShortPoint fully supports SharePoint Subscription Edition, including hybrid on-premises deployments, along with SharePoint Online, SharePoint 2019, and SharePoint 2016. -
What is the difference between a Designer and a Viewer in ShortPoint?
A Designer is someone who uses ShortPoint to build and edit pages, linked to one M365 account. Viewers are unlimited and can view all content without using a license, but cannot modify page designs.
