When you share files and folders, you can decide whether to let people edit or just view them. You can see who a SharePoint file is shared with, and stop sharing SharePoint files or folders, or change permissions, at any time. (Want to share the entire site?)
How to follow a SharePoint Site
- If you are the person who created the site – it automatically makes you follow it – so no need to do anything extra.
- If you were not the person who created a site, but want to follow it, just click the Follow button in the upper-right-hand corner of the site, just under your photo.
What’s the difference between SharePoint publishing and communication sites?
In general, Communication sites are simpler to create and don’t rely on publishing site infrastructure. A SharePoint publishing site is typically used to create intranet and communication portals. Publishing sites are typically more structured, and built using a master page and site publishing template.
What’s the difference between classic and modern SharePoint?
The default lists and library experience is optimized for your most common tasks. Copy and move files using the command bar. Pin documents, add files as links, filter and sort easily, and apply formatting to columns. There are some classic features that are different or not available in the modern view.
Microsoft 365 Groups are different from SharePoint groups in that they span across multiple Microsoft 365 resources, are more flexible, and are easier to work with. You can easily add people to a group or just share the site with individuals by clicking Settings, then Site permissions on your site.
Because a publishing portal is a site collection, it may also include sub sites. To create a publishing site, publishing features must be activated. A complete solution for a publishing site may involve deeper design and development work to create custom master pages and design page layouts.
