In this entry

SharePoint is a Microsoft service for storing and organising documents and information shared by a team.

What does this mean in practice?

Files can be organised into libraries, with access assigned according to people’s roles. SharePoint provides a shared workspace for documents, reducing the need to email multiple copies.

Example use case

A team stores proposals in one library. Each item has a clear status and an owner, and employees know where to find the current document.

Things to consider

Plan the structure and permissions first. Moving disorganised folders to the cloud will not, by itself, make information easier to find or access.
