What is SharePoint Online?
SharePoint Online functions as a content management and collaboration platform that integrates with other Microsoft 365 applications. The platform enables users to store, manage, and share content securely while facilitating real-time co-creation.
Site types
The platform offers two distinct site architectures:
- Communications Sites – designed for broadcasting information to broad audiences where limited contributors create content consumed by many.
- Project Team Sites – allow most members to contribute content within a limited group of team members and stakeholders.
Common use cases
Two primary user roles exist: site users who navigate sites like standard websites, and project site owners who maintain full control of SharePoint environments.
Getting Started
The training covers foundational topics including sign-in procedures, sharing and permissions, document libraries, data and lists management, page creation, and site administration.
Advanced features
Intermediate users can explore file synchronisation with desktop computers, permission customisation, file recovery through recycle bins, site creation using various templates, modern page creation, and news sharing capabilities.
Key benefits
SharePoint delivers a secure environment for internal and external collaboration alongside seamless collaboration to co-author documents in real time.
