Overview:

For the foreseeable future, all workshops will be presented via Zoom. All those registered for the workshop will receive an email with the Zoom link the morning of or day before the session. If the session is closed, contact us at training@ku.edu to request the Zoom link.

In this hands-on class, you'll learn how to add and customize the functionality on your site. You will learn more about the roles and permission levels within SharePoint, as well as terminology. After creating a sandbox subsite, you'll experiment with adding and configuring common apps, create custom columns and views.
