SharePoint libraries gained new document processing rule actions in August 2025, expanding automation capabilities without requiring Power Automate.


ℹ️
Key Facts:
New actions: Copy file to, move file to, set content type
Limit: Up to 15 rules per library
Availability: Users with edit permissions
Trigger: Rules execute when files are added or modified

These new rule actions enable common file management scenarios directly within SharePoint, reducing the need to build separate Power Automate flows for basic document routing.
