What is the best way to find documents in a SharePoint library and / or site that contain Macros? So far, I have only been advised or found information on running a PowerShell script example Reference: GitHub - junecastillote/SPO-File-Search: PowerShell script to find files in a SharePoint Online and OneDrive sites.

    Hi @Alison Slater ,

    Unfortunately, there is no built-in feature in SharePoint 2013 that provides a direct report listing all documents with macros. The PowerShell approach remains the most viable method for automation and efficiency.
