Welcome! This Step by Step book is designed to guide users through Microsoft SharePoint 2016, building skills from foundational procedures to more specialized tasks. It can be read sequentially or used as a reference for specific tasks, offering concise, fact-based instructions supported by informative graphics.
Who this book is for
This guide is intended for beginning-level and intermediate-level users of SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Online. It covers creating, modifying, sharing, and managing sites, webpages, documents, and other content, as well as finding information and collaborating with others. The book provides a comprehensive overview of frequently used SharePoint features, benefiting both those new to SharePoint and those with prior experience.
The Step by Step approach
The book is structured into 14 chapters, each focusing on specific skill sets. Chapters 1-3 cover foundational skills like site navigation and working with documents in lists and libraries. Chapters 4-6 explore optimizing lists and libraries, search functionality, and using My Site and Microsoft OneDrive for Business. Chapters 7-8 focus on webpages and site management. Chapter 9 delves into social features like community sites, blogs, and wikis. Chapters 10-11 address business process features such as tasks and workflows, while Chapters 12-13 cover integration with Microsoft Office applications and business intelligence. Finally, Chapter 14 provides insights into content management and monitoring.
A tip is provided for readers new to SharePoint, suggesting they may wish to skip introductory material in Chapter 1.
Each chapter is organized into topics that group related skills, featuring expository information, generic procedures, and end-of-chapter practice tasks. Practice files for these tasks are available from the book's website.
Download the practice files
To complete the practice tasks, users need to download the book's practice files from https://aka.ms/SP2016SBS/downloads and follow the installation instructions.
Important: The SharePoint 2016 software itself is not available from the book's website. Users require access to a SharePoint Server 2016 deployment or can utilize SharePoint Online for most practice tasks.
Starter WSP files are provided for specific practice tasks, containing necessary lists, libraries, files, and pages. Detailed installation instructions for creating practice sites from these files are available in the chapter's practice folder.
