[Autogenerated] What is SharePoint? Well,
that's a pretty complicated question, with
lots of different answers, but I'm going
to give you a simple explanation.
SharePoint is an office 3 65 tool, which
is most commonly used for collaboration.
It's a place where individuals in an
organization can come and create and
manage their own collaborative websites,
which is great for projects teams of
people working on projects and because its
Web based SharePoint can be accessed from
any device that has access to the Internet
or you need is a Web browser. With
SharePoint, you can create lists of
information that could be manipulated and
analyze, studied, shared, and they could
be virtually any kind of a list really.
List of contacts of price's sales,
information, parts inventory, all kinds of
things. Another feature of SharePoint is
the Document Library. Now that's exactly
what it sounds like. A place to store
documents, and this is a great feature for
a collaborative project. Think about it
one single place to store all the project
documents so that the entire team can
access them easily again from any device
anywhere. We also have the new section.
Now. This is a new feature that is part of
the modern SharePoint team site. This
gives team members a place to share
important information. The most common
type of SharePoint site is the team site.
Now you've heard me mention the modern
SharePoint experience. Let me explain what
I mean. Currently, there are two types of
SharePoint experiences in office. The
modern and the classic experience. Let's
go ahead and take a look. Now this is a
modern SharePoint team site. If you've you
share point in the past, you'll
immediately see how different it is. Let
me kind of scroll down here. You can see
we have a lot of different things.
Document previews. Here we see our quick
links, little linked to our document
library, so that's pretty much the same.
We have our quick launch, and that's
pretty much the same. But the top is a
little bit different little cleaner and
things there in a different place. Now
let's take a look at the classic
experience, which is still available. You
can still use the classic experience
SharePoint team site, and that's what this
is gonna look like and you'll notice
immediately some differences. We no longer
have those news sections we have our news
feed here, which is really more like
conversations. We still have the document
Library are quick launch. But notice that
we have a navigation bar here. A TTE the
top that's missing. We don't have that in
the modern site. We also see that search
is over here on the right and we have
share following edit here. Whereas we look
at our modern site, Those things are in
different places. You see that search is
over here and we can share things when we
select them. But we'll see a lot more of
this as we go throughout the course. I
also want to show you that other things
are different as well. Let's go to the
documents library here in our modern site
and you'll see the new look of the
document library. And here we have. If I
go ahead and select the document, there
are my share. Copy down all of these
options here, but if we go ahead and go to
the document library in our classic
SharePoint site, you see that we have the
ribbon still in the ribbon is no longer
there in our modern sites, but all of the
options are available elsewhere. The same
thing goes. We have a classic task list
available to us as well. Now you might say
to yourself, Why would I use the classic
site? And here is the modern site list.
Well, Microsoft has given us both
experiences and made them both available
to us. In depending on how your SharePoint
is managed and set up, you may have the
ability tohave both types of lists and
libraries available on both types of
sites. It gets a little bit confusing, but
throughout this course, we're going to
concentrate solely on the new modern
SharePoint experience. The other thing
that's really great about the modern
SharePoint experience is it is adaptive.
If you're looking at the SharePoint site
in a different environment, if you're not
on a PC, but you're on your phone, you're
on a tablet. Whatever it is, the site will
adapt and change and re size so that it is
still easy to see an easy to work with on
that device. So now you know a little bit
more about SharePoint. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time
