Issue

If you're using a Modern Team Site or a Modern Communication site, the ShortPoint Footer has suddenly started being displayed in the middle of the page. This is currently affecting all public ShortPoint versions.

Reason

Microsoft has recently released some silent updates to their HTML page structure. Silent updates are updates which are not publicly planned nor documented, so ShortPoint has to react in real time to these changes.

Solution

This footer issue was fixed in ShortPoint SPFx version 7.0.2.39.
