Sharepoint.Contents() documentation error?
The documentation for the Sharepoint.Content() function in Power Query refers to an optional parameter "Implementation"
SharePoint.Contents - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Learn
I am currently using the January 2025 version of the desktop and I get this error when I try to reference "Implementation"

Hi Mixednuts , I think it might be because of parameter is no longer valid in the latest Power Query versions
Try these please
Use only the ApiVersion parameter
SharePoint.Contents(SharepointSource, [ApiVersion = 15])The parameters update frequently so that might be causing this
If this post helped please do give a kudos and accept this as a solution
Thanks In AdvanceThe SharePoint.Contents() function in Power Query is designed to retrieve a table containing a row for each folder and document found at a specified SharePoint site URL. The optional options parameter allows you to control certain aspects of the function's behavior.
In your case, you're encountering an error when attempting to use the Implementation option with SharePoint.Contents(). This issue may be due to the specific version of Power BI Desktop you're using (January 2025). It's possible that this version does not support the Implementation option for the SharePoint.Contents() function, or there might be a syntax issue in how the parameter is being applied.Thank you Omid_Motamedise and Akash_Varuna
I will treat it as a documentation issue and have reported it as feedback on the document.
Is there a means by which we can monitor changes to Power Query functions? eg a blog?Hi Mixednuts,

Pavan.Thank you Anonymous I explored the link you sent at length but could not find anything that specifically referred to "What's New" in the M language.
I have found several random third party references to changes in the language, particularly the function definitions (new, modified, depricated), the most recent from Chris Webb (Reading Delta metadata in Power Query)
Do I assume an official source does not exist?
Thanks for your feedback.
