Helvety SPO Explorer

Helvety SPO Explorer is a privacy-focused SharePoint Framework (SPFx) application customizer that gives you a fast way to navigate your Microsoft 365 environment.

Privacy First - In the current design, data processing happens client-side for supported flows. User preferences (favorites and settings) are stored locally in the browser's localStorage.

Key Features: • Site Discovery - Automatically fetches and displays all SharePoint sites you have access to • Real-time Search - Search across site titles, descriptions, and URLs with highlighted matches • Favorites Management - Mark frequently used sites as favorites for quick access • Quick Access Menu - Dropdown menu from the navbar button showing your favorite sites • Settings Panel - Customize display preferences including URL display, descriptions, and tab behavior

The extension adapts to SharePoint's light and dark themes, with full keyboard navigation and accessibility support. Performance is optimized with caching and efficient React rendering; exact cache behavior depends on the current SPO Explorer release.

Install it in your SharePoint App Catalog to give users access to a clean, modern navigation experience once deployment and permissions are in place.
