1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,040 [Autogenerated] Hi. We're here today to 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,430 talk about communication sites in 3 00:00:07,430 --> 00:00:11,420 SharePoint. Now, without a doubt, the team 4 00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:13,840 site is the most popular type of 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,430 SharePoint site, but communication sites 6 00:00:16,430 --> 00:00:19,510 are pretty awesome. Well, communication 7 00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:21,680 sites are designed to present or share 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,950 information with others in a visually 9 00:00:23,950 --> 00:00:27,390 interesting way. Things like an idea or 10 00:00:27,390 --> 00:00:29,960 information about a topic. You can also 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,950 use them to highlight an item like a 12 00:00:31,950 --> 00:00:36,150 product or service. There are two types of 13 00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:39,740 communication site templates, a topic and 14 00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:42,700 to showcase. There's also a blank template 15 00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,010 so that you can design your own 16 00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:47,160 communication site. Now I've created a 17 00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,640 sample of each of these. Let's start with 18 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,450 the topic site. This is straight out of 19 00:00:52,450 --> 00:00:56,340 box. All of this is Microsoft, and you can 20 00:00:56,340 --> 00:00:59,940 see there's a lot of features in here. 21 00:00:59,940 --> 00:01:01,230 It's a little bit different than our 22 00:01:01,230 --> 00:01:04,870 standard team site. Let's also go ahead 23 00:01:04,870 --> 00:01:07,890 and look at the showcase site. Template is 24 00:01:07,890 --> 00:01:15,540 well, it even has an image gallery. Now. 25 00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:17,390 Communication sites have pretty much the 26 00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:20,110 same features as a team site there just 27 00:01:20,110 --> 00:01:23,250 laid out differently. Now each site has a 28 00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:26,780 navigation bar. You can see right up here 29 00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:29,580 at the top with the home. Each site also 30 00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:34,780 has a document library. Now they don't 31 00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:37,170 have any documents in this. But remember, 32 00:01:37,170 --> 00:01:40,000 this is the temple. IT it has a link to 33 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,220 the pages site contents, which once we're 34 00:01:46,220 --> 00:01:49,040 here really doesn't look any different 35 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,290 from site contents on a team site. Let's 36 00:01:52,290 --> 00:01:53,710 go ahead and look at that topic site 37 00:01:53,710 --> 00:01:59,140 again. Again. Navigation at the top 38 00:01:59,140 --> 00:02:01,120 Document library. Now there are gonna be 39 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,150 documents in here. No, there are not. But 40 00:02:05,150 --> 00:02:08,820 again, pages insight content. The topic 41 00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:12,050 site has the news web part where you can 42 00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:16,230 add news items. It also has an events web 43 00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:20,620 part, so you can add calendar events and 44 00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:23,790 again the document library web part so 45 00:02:23,790 --> 00:02:29,740 that you can see the individual documents. 46 00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:32,150 Let's take a look at the showcase site 47 00:02:32,150 --> 00:02:38,730 again, Like I said, no visible web parts 48 00:02:38,730 --> 00:02:41,920 other than the hero web part, which is 49 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,550 with all of these are and the Image 50 00:02:47,550 --> 00:02:49,750 Gallery. But of course, like any other 51 00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:52,380 SharePoint site, you can edit the site and 52 00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:57,510 add those web parts as well. Now, let's 53 00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:00,320 quickly take a look at a couple of these 54 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,660 that I created. This is a topic site. 55 00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:09,270 Welcome to L a Bari skills. This would be 56 00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:13,710 our home page for new employees. We have 57 00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:15,890 our hero web part here and all the little 58 00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:21,440 highlighted sections, which will take us 59 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:32,240 two different pages. Give us information 60 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,810 are welcome message. We have some news 61 00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:45,540 items and even an event, and you can see 62 00:03:45,540 --> 00:03:47,920 the document web part showing what's in 63 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,190 our document library. Let's take a look at 64 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:56,330 this showcase site that I created. I 65 00:03:56,330 --> 00:03:59,280 created this site to showcase the training 66 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,140 that's available. We have offers 3 65 67 00:04:03,140 --> 00:04:08,280 training Windows, 10 Excel and Random 68 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,700 Image Gallery with pictures of computers 69 00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:15,210 and other types of things like that. Now 70 00:04:15,210 --> 00:04:19,610 what I've done is this image as well as 71 00:04:19,610 --> 00:04:22,920 this link down here and here is, well, 72 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,030 this whole panel is one big link, and I 73 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:29,730 linked it so that when I click on it, it 74 00:04:29,730 --> 00:04:35,440 takes me to Microsoft Stream, where I have 75 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,070 the Microsoft 3 65 training videos, and 76 00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:43,700 people can go ahead and watch those and 77 00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:49,830 the same thing with Windows 10. It will 78 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:57,260 take me to the Windows 10 Channel. Lastly, 79 00:04:57,260 --> 00:04:58,900 let's take a look at the Image Gallery in 80 00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:02,000 the Image Gallery is simply exactly what 81 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,940 it says an image gallery. And if you click 82 00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:09,640 on one, see it gives you that full screen 83 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:15,880 and you can use the arrows to go back and 84 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:24,070 forth through the images. So now you know 85 00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:26,180 a little bit more about communication 86 00:05:26,180 --> 00:05:31,270 sites in SharePoint. That's it for this 87 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:40,000 lesson. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time.
