1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,005
- This is a Microsoft SharePoint team site

2
00:00:04,005 --> 00:00:06,008
created in SharePoint online.

3
00:00:06,008 --> 00:00:09,006
SharePoint is a platform for building websites

4
00:00:09,006 --> 00:00:11,002
and those websites are used

5
00:00:11,002 --> 00:00:13,006
to share documents, data and apps.

6
00:00:13,006 --> 00:00:16,003
In other words, we build websites with SharePoint

7
00:00:16,003 --> 00:00:19,005
and then collaborate in those websites.

8
00:00:19,005 --> 00:00:21,007
When we say SharePoint we mean more than one thing

9
00:00:21,007 --> 00:00:23,009
because there different SharePoint products.

10
00:00:23,009 --> 00:00:26,006
There's SharePoint Online, which I'll be using

11
00:00:26,006 --> 00:00:28,006
for demonstration in this course.

12
00:00:28,006 --> 00:00:31,003
There's also a on-premises version of SharePoint,

13
00:00:31,003 --> 00:00:32,005
SharePoint Server.

14
00:00:32,005 --> 00:00:35,002
And, if you're familiar with OneDrive for Business,

15
00:00:35,002 --> 00:00:37,006
OneDrive for Business is actually a service

16
00:00:37,006 --> 00:00:39,000
of Microsoft SharePoint.

17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
And to make thing a little more complex but accurate,

18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,007
if you were using Microsoft teams and you were storing files

19
00:00:45,007 --> 00:00:47,008
those files are actually being stored

20
00:00:47,008 --> 00:00:50,004
in Microsoft SharePoint.

21
00:00:50,004 --> 00:00:53,004
The features that made SharePoint famous include

22
00:00:53,004 --> 00:00:56,007
robot support for documents and authoring.

23
00:00:56,007 --> 00:00:58,004
Documents are stored in libraries

24
00:00:58,004 --> 00:01:02,004
which are a specialized kind of list and we can co-author,

25
00:01:02,004 --> 00:01:05,001
in libraries, multiple users in a site,

26
00:01:05,001 --> 00:01:07,004
authoring the same document at the same time

27
00:01:07,004 --> 00:01:11,008
and you can include versioning and approval processes

28
00:01:11,008 --> 00:01:12,007
for those documents.

29
00:01:12,007 --> 00:01:16,006
With data, we have excel-like lists

30
00:01:16,006 --> 00:01:18,008
and there are built-in lose types

31
00:01:18,008 --> 00:01:22,001
but there is also ability to custom your own list

32
00:01:22,001 --> 00:01:24,001
to track whatever data you need to track.

33
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:25,008
And you can easily create lists in excel

34
00:01:25,008 --> 00:01:29,000
and publish or promote those to SharePoint,

35
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,009
for shared or work group use.

36
00:01:31,009 --> 00:01:34,008
When we create SharePoint sites for collaboration,

37
00:01:34,008 --> 00:01:36,003
we create team sites

38
00:01:36,003 --> 00:01:38,004
and these are the original SharePoint sites.

39
00:01:38,004 --> 00:01:42,002
Within a team, members collaborate on documents and data

40
00:01:42,002 --> 00:01:44,006
and they have a shared news feed.

41
00:01:44,006 --> 00:01:47,008
We also have, in modern SharePoint, communication sites

42
00:01:47,008 --> 00:01:51,003
that are usually used by a group to share information

43
00:01:51,003 --> 00:01:53,006
with the larger oraganization.

44
00:01:53,006 --> 00:01:56,008
SharePoint has list-level integration

45
00:01:56,008 --> 00:01:58,006
with a Microsoft Power Platform

46
00:01:58,006 --> 00:02:00,006
which means that if I am looking at a list

47
00:02:00,006 --> 00:02:01,009
or a library in SharePoint,

48
00:02:01,009 --> 00:02:06,009
I'll see options right in the list for power apps

49
00:02:06,009 --> 00:02:09,009
to create new apps or to customize forms

50
00:02:09,009 --> 00:02:12,007
or power automate, also know as flow

51
00:02:12,007 --> 00:02:15,005
to create a new flow into configure flows

52
00:02:15,005 --> 00:02:18,004
right here in Microsoft SharePoint.

53
00:02:18,004 --> 00:02:22,006
Because SharePoint supports large document repositories,

54
00:02:22,006 --> 00:02:26,001
SharePoint also has to have world class search and it does.

55
00:02:26,001 --> 00:02:29,004
You can search within SharePoint in news feeds,

56
00:02:29,004 --> 00:02:32,007
you cans search for text within a particular document,

57
00:02:32,007 --> 00:02:34,009
you can search for documents as a whole

58
00:02:34,009 --> 00:02:37,002
for the people who created documents and so on.

59
00:02:37,002 --> 00:02:39,009
SharePoint also features world class security

60
00:02:39,009 --> 00:02:42,008
for ease of administration and security management

61
00:02:42,008 --> 00:02:44,006
has build-in security groups

62
00:02:44,006 --> 00:02:46,008
but you can customize those groups

63
00:02:46,008 --> 00:02:48,007
or create groups of your own.

64
00:02:48,007 --> 00:02:51,003
With this feature set it is not surprising

65
00:02:51,003 --> 00:02:53,003
that SharePoint has seen wide adoption.

66
00:02:53,003 --> 00:02:56,001
There are tons of millions of SharePoint users

67
00:02:56,001 --> 00:02:57,005
around the world.
