Note: This book focuses on SharePoint Online, the cloud-based version of SharePoint that is part of Microsoft 365. While many concepts apply to SharePoint Server, the interface and some features may differ.

Part 1

The Foundation

Days 1-7: Understand what SharePoint is, navigate the interface, and perform basic site management.

Day 1: Welcome to the SharePoint Universe

Learning Objective

By the end of today, you will understand what Microsoft SharePoint is, why it's a critical tool for modern business, and its core components. You will have logged into your environment and be ready to start building tomorrow.

1.1 What is SharePoint? More Than Just a Document Dump

If you think of SharePoint as just a place to store files, you're missing 90% of its power. Think of it instead as a digital hub for teamwork.

At its heart, SharePoint is a web-based platform that integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365. It provides three fundamental capabilities to organizations:

1. Collaboration: It's a central space where teams can work together on documents, projects, and data in real-time, breaking down the silos of email attachments and network drives.
2. Content Management: It's a powerful, structured system for storing, organizing, and finding information. It goes beyond simple folders by using metadata (descriptive information about the content) to make files incredibly easy to discover.
3. Business Processes: It's a platform for building simple, no-code applications and automating workflows. From a vacation request form to a complex project tracking system, SharePoint provides the building blocks.

Real-World Example: Imagine a team working on a marketing campaign. Instead of having a shared drive with a messy folder structure and endless email chains with file versions, they have a single SharePoint site. The plan is in a list, the creative assets are in a library with relevant tags (like "campaign," "Q4," "final"), the project timeline is on a dashboard, and everyone knows where to find the latest version of everything. That is SharePoint in action.

1.2 SharePoint Online vs. On-Premises: The Cloud is King

This book, and the future of SharePoint, is focused on SharePoint Online—the cloud-based service offered as part of Microsoft 365.

• SharePoint Online (The Cloud): Microsoft hosts all the servers and infrastructure for you. You access it through a web browser, and it's always up-to-date with the latest features, security patches, and performance enhancements. It scales effortlessly with your organization. This is our primary focus.
• SharePoint Server (On-Premises): Your company owns and manages the physical servers running the software. This offers more direct control but requires significant IT overhead, cost, and is often behind on the latest innovations.

The "Modern" experience in SharePoint—with its clean, responsive, and fast interfaces—is native to SharePoint Online. For the vast majority of organizations starting today, the cloud is the clear and only recommended path.

1.3 Core Terminology: Speaking the SharePoint Language

Let's demystify the key terms you'll see every day. Don't worry about memorizing them all now; we'll explore each one in depth throughout the book.

• Site Collection & Site: A Site Collection is the top-level container, but for most users, you'll just work with a Site. A Site is a dedicated workspace for a team, project, or department (e.g., "HR Department Site," "Project Phoenix Site").
• Page: A web page within a site that you can customize. It's your canvas for displaying information, news, and data.
• Web Part: A reusable component or app that you add to a page to show content. Examples: a document library, a text box, an image gallery, a list of tasks.
• List: The backbone of SharePoint. A list is a collection of data, similar to an Excel spreadsheet but much more powerful. It's used for tracking issues, calendar events, contacts, tasks, or any structured information.
• Library: A special type of list designed specifically for storing files. A document library is where you store your Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files, along with their metadata.
• Column (Metadata): A piece of information you add to a list or library item to describe it. Instead of just a file named report.pdf, you can have columns for Department, Project Name, and Status. This is the key to moving beyond folders.

1.4 The SharePoint Ecosystem: It's Not an Island

SharePoint doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's the powerful engine that drives collaboration across the entire Microsoft 365 suite.

• Microsoft Teams: When you create a team in Microsoft Teams, it automatically creates a SharePoint team site in the background to store all the files shared in the Teams channels.
• OneDrive for Business: Think of OneDrive as your personal document library in the cloud, while SharePoint is for team or company content. They use the same underlying technology, making it easy to move files between them.
• Office Apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint): You can create, open, and co-author Office documents directly in your web browser from a SharePoint library. The "AutoSave" feature relies on SharePoint and OneDrive.

This integration means that by learning SharePoint, you are simultaneously becoming more proficient with the entire Microsoft 365 platform.

Hands-On Task: Your First Login

It's time to get your hands dirty. The goal here is simply to access the environment.

1. Open your web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox are recommended).
2. Navigate to your organization's Microsoft 365 login portal. This is usually https://office.com or a custom URL provided by your IT department.
3. Log in with your work or school account (e.g., yourname@yourcompany.com).
4. Once logged in, look for the "SharePoint" icon in the app launcher (the "waffle" menu of nine dots in the top-left corner).
5. Click the SharePoint icon. You will be taken to the SharePoint start page, which may show "Featured sites" and news from across your organization.

✅ Success Check: You have successfully accessed the SharePoint environment. You see the SharePoint start page and can navigate back to it from the app launcher.

Key Takeaways from Day 1

• SharePoint is a collaboration and content management platform, not just a file store.
• SharePoint Online (cloud-based) is the modern, recommended standard.
• Core building blocks are Sites, Pages, Lists, Libraries, and Web Parts.
• Metadata (Columns) is the superior alternative to complex folder hierarchies for organizing content.
• SharePoint is deeply integrated with Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Office Apps.

Day 2: Navigating the SharePoint Interface

Learning Objective

By the end of today, you will be able to confidently navigate any modern SharePoint site, understand the key elements of the user interface, and perform basic file operations.

2.1 The Gateway: The SharePoint Start Page

When you click the SharePoint icon from the Microsoft 365 app launcher, you don't land on a random site. You arrive at the SharePoint start page. This is your personalized dashboard and launchpad for all things SharePoint.

• Featured Sites: This section shows sites that the system predicts are most relevant to you, based on your activity and membership.
• Recent Sites: A chronological list of sites you've visited recently, making it easy to jump back in.
• Followed Sites: You can "follow" sites like you follow a person on social media. This pins them to your start page for quick access.
• News from sites: This aggregates news posts from sites you follow or are a member of, keeping you updated across the organization.

Pro Tip: Actively "Follow" your key project and department sites. It customizes your start page and ensures you never miss important news.

2.2 Anatomy of a Modern SharePoint Site

Once you enter a site, you'll see a clean, consistent layout. Let's break it down:

1. Top Bar (Suite Bar): This is consistent across Microsoft 365. It houses the app launcher (waffle icon), your Microsoft 365 apps, search, and your user account settings.
2. Site Header: This area contains the site logo, title, and navigation elements.
   • Site Navigation: This is the primary horizontal menu, often with links like "Home," "Documents," "Pages." This is managed by the site owner.
   • Hub Navigation: If your site is part of a Hub (covered in Day 23), you will see navigation links that are shared across all associated sites here.
3. Quick Launch (Left-Hand Navigation): This is a vertical menu on the left, typically showing links to key content within the site, like "Documents," "Site Contents," and "Recycle Bin." This is also customizable by the site owner.
4. Main Content Area: This is the canvas of the site. It displays the home page, a document library, a list, or a custom page. This is where you'll do most of your work.

2.3 The Command Bar: Your Contextual Toolbar

The Command Bar is a dynamic toolbar that appears at the top of Lists and Libraries. Its options change based on what you have selected.

• New: Create a new file (in a library) or a new item (in a list).
• Upload: Upload files or folders from your computer.
• Sync: Sync the library to your OneDrive/File Explorer for offline access.
• Copy Link: Get a shareable link to a file, folder, or item.
• Download: Download a copy of a selected file to your local machine.
• Edit: Switch the view of a list or library to an editable grid format.
• ... (Ellipsis): The "More" menu contains additional actions like "Alert Me," "Power Automate," "Export to Excel," and "View Properties."

2.4 The Site Contents Page: The Engine Room

The Site Contents page is the backstage area of your site. To access it, click "Site Contents" from the Quick Launch.

Here you will find:

• All your Lists and Libraries, including the default "Site Pages" and "Site Assets" libraries.
• The Recycle Bin for the entire site.
• Subsites (though less common in modern SharePoint).
• Apps you can add to create new lists and libraries.

This is your go-to place for managing all the components of your site.

Hands-On Task: Explore and Interact

1. Navigate to your "Practice Team Site" that you created on Day 1.
2. Identify the UI Elements: Point to the Site Header, Quick Launch, and Main Content Area.
3. Open Site Contents: Click "Site Contents" from the Quick Launch. Observe the default "Documents" library and the "Site Pages" library.
4. Upload a File: Go to the "Documents" library. Click Upload -> Files and select a non-critical file from your computer (e.g., a sample picture or a text file) to upload.
5. Use the Command Bar: Select the file you just uploaded. Notice how the Command Bar changes. Click Copy Link and copy a "People in [Your Organization] can edit" link. (You don't have to send it).
6. Use Search: Use the search bar at the top of the site to search for the name of the file you just uploaded.

✅ Success Check: You have navigated the site interface, uploaded a file, and used the contextual commands. You understand the purpose of the Site Contents page.

Key Takeaways from Day 2

• The SharePoint start page is your personalized hub for finding sites and news.
• A modern site has a consistent layout: Top Bar, Site Header, Quick Launch, and Main Content Area.
• The Command Bar provides context-sensitive actions for lists and libraries.
• The Site Contents page is the central directory for everything in your site.

Day 3: Your First SharePoint Site

Learning Objective

To understand the different types of modern SharePoint sites and be able to create, delete, and customize a site's basic information.

3.1 Team Site vs. Communication Site: Choosing the Right Tool

The two primary modern site templates serve distinct purposes. Choosing the right one from the start is crucial for success.

Team Site: Collaboration & Co-authoring

• Purpose: A workspace for a team of people to collaborate internally on content. It's the "doing" site.
• Default Permissions: Connected to a Microsoft 365 Group. All members of the group are "Members" of the site with edit permissions.
• Homepage: Typically features a dynamic, web-part-driven page showing team activity, recent documents, and links.
• Ideal For: Project teams, department collaboration, event planning teams.

Communication Site: Broadcasting & Storytelling

• Purpose: A platform to broadcast information outward to a broad audience. It's the "showing" site.
• Default Permissions: Not connected to a M365 Group by default. The creators are owners, and most users are typically "Visitors" with read-only access.
• Homepage: Designed with beautiful, pre-built sections to showcase images, news, and featured content in a visually engaging way.
• Ideal For: Company intranet portals, HR policy sites, internal news hubs, marketing campaign sites.

Rule of Thumb: If the primary goal is for a defined group to create content together, use a Team Site. If the primary goal is to share information with a wide audience, use a Communication Site.

3.2 Step-by-Step: Creating a Modern Site

Let's create a new Communication Site. (The process for a Team Site is nearly identical).

1. From the SharePoint start page, click + Create site in the top-right corner.
2. You will see two options. Choose Communication site.
3. Choose a design: You can pick a pre-built design (like "Topic," "Showcase," or "Blank") or start from scratch. Select Topic.
4. Give your site a name. This is critical! Use a clear, descriptive name like "YebboAcademy HR Central." The name will become part of the site's web address.
5. Add a site description. Briefly state the site's purpose, e.g., "The central hub for all HR policies, news, and forms."
6. Click Next.
7. You can now add a site logo and change the site theme. For now, you can skip this. We'll cover themes in Day 7.
8. Click Finish.

Your site will be provisioned and will open in a new tab. Congratulations, you've just built your first Communication Site!

3.3 Site Information: Title, Description, and Logo

A site's identity helps users understand its purpose at a glance.

• To update this information:
  1. Click the Settings gear icon in the top-right corner of your site.
  2. Select Site information.
  3. A panel will slide out where you can edit the Site name, Description, and Logo. You can also see the site's owners and members here.

A professional-looking logo and a clear description significantly increase user adoption.

Hands-On Task: Build Your Portfolio

To solidify your understanding, you will create one of each type of site.

1. Create a Communication Site:
   • Name: [Your Name]'s Communication Hub
   • Description: A showcase site for my projects and news.
   • Use the "Showcase" design.
2. Create a Team Site:
   • From the SharePoint start page, click + Create site and choose Team site.
   • Name: [Your Name]'s Project Workspace
   • Description: A collaborative space for my team to work on project tasks and documents.
   • Note: Creating a Team Site will also create a new Microsoft 365 Group and a connected Microsoft Team. You can leave the privacy setting as "Private."
3. Update Site Information:
   • Go to your new Team Site.
   • Open Settings > Site information.
   • Add a description: The central hub for the [Your Name] Project Team.

✅ Success Check: You have two new sites in your portfolio: a Communication Site and a Team Site. You have successfully updated the site information for one of them.

Key Takeaways from Day 3

• Team Sites are for collaborative creation by a defined group.
• Communication Sites are for broadcasting information to a wide audience.
• The site creation process is simple and guided from the SharePoint start page.
• A clear Site Name and Description are vital for user adoption and searchability.
