Web Part Page Maintenance

Monday, April 12, 2004

In the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 830342, entitled "Soap:Server Exception of Type Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException" Message Appears When You Try to Edit a Portal by Using FrontPage there are a variety of solutions which probably do work. However, one of the solutions mentions opening up the web part page maintenance page.

In order to do this, simply append "?contents=1" to the URL of the page. For example:

http://myportal/myarea/default.aspx?contents=1

Very useful for closing some webparts. How can you reopen them though?
