We will demonstrate popular uses of SharePoint Online to manage and share content, create engaging web pages, automate business processes and make good business decisions with Business intelligence.

We will also discuss who will be the typical users in our sites and the role of the site collection

As a site owner, you will be presented with a selection of site templates. You will use a variety of popular site templates to develop an enhanced understanding of each sites function and appropriate use.

In most site templates, creating and managing web pages is a simple, fast and rewarding way to present essential information and apps.

SharePoint can also be used as an Intranet for internal news. Due to the high visibility of these web sites, it is common to place more control over the release of new web pages or updates to existing pages. For this reason, SharePoint has classic publishing sites and modern communication sites.

SharePoint lists serve as the structure for calendars, discussion boards, contacts, and tasks. This module explains the concept of lists, and then reviews popular options.

A document library is a location on a site where you can create, collect, update, and share files including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and more. We will show you the benefits of using a library and teach you how best to work with various types of files in a library.
