- [Instructor] If you decide that you need
a SharePoint team site rather than
simply creating a new team,
we go to SharePoint and simply click,
wherever you are in SharePoint,
the link for SharePoint here,
which takes us to SharePoint home,
yourdomain.sharepoint.com, and you'll see
a link here to create a new site.
Click Create Site and you have a choice
of two different types of sites
that you can create.
If you want to create a site who's primary
purpose is to communicate information,
then you would create a communication site,
and a communication site is a fine thing
for a team to have, perhaps,
to share their deliverables or share
other results with a larger group
or the entire organization.
If you're creating a space, though,
that is similar to what you would create
in Teams, or similar to what you would create
as an Office 365 group, that is
a space for collaboration,
for document sharing, for task management,
then what you want to create is a team site.
When you create a team site
in SharePoint online, you get a site
that's connected to Office 365 Groups.
If you create a communication site,
there is no such connection made.
So, when doing this, I'm not only creating
creating a team site in SharePoint,
I'm also creating an Office 365 group,
which we already know we could, then,
connect directly to Teams if we wished.
I'm going to create a site for project management.
Project Management Office,
says the site name is available,
and this has a really long email address.
I want to try to create a shorter email address,
so I'm going to click the Edit button
and simply try pmo.
Great, that group alias is available.
The site address, then, will be
myorganization.sharepoint.com/site/pmo
and this is for development of the project
management office.
Later on, when the office is up and running,
we can change this description
if we wish.
And the question that I'm asked is
is this a private site or a public site?
If it's a public site, anyone in the organization
can choose to access this site.
If it's private, only members
can access the site.
At this time, I want this site to be private.
I need to select a language,
language that's selected is your default language.
And note, that this is really the only thing
you're doing here that you can't change.
If you choose a different language for this site
and you later need to change it,
if we choose English and later need Spanish,
then we will need to actually create a new site.
Click Next.
At this point, I'm prompted to add new members
if I wish.
So, I can begin entering one or more members,
as many as I wish.
I want Robert to be an owner,
and I want Griffin Snow simply to be a member.
We can also add more people later,
and I'm going to click finish
and create my Project Management Office site
here in SharePoint.
If I wish to add more members later
or to modify anyone's role,
I simply click the number of members link
in the upper right hand corner
and this is where I can add members
or modify people's membership.
To make a member an owner,
to remove a member, and so on.
