How to create a SharePoint document library
A SharePoint library is a collection of files and folders within a SharePoint site. It helps you organize information and share documents with your team. You can easily upload files to your library or create new files.
How to share files in SharePoint
One of the main advantages of a document library is sharing files across your organization.
How to create a form on a SharePoint site
You can also add Microsoft Forms to your SharePoint site. You can use these forms to collect your team’s suggestions and opinions or create surveys. Forms are also useful for adding quizzes to your training sites.
How to delete and restore SharePoint sites
You can keep your SharePoint workspace clean by deleting outdated sites.
To delete a site, you need to be the site owner and admin (for communication sites). And when you delete a site, all the pages, lists and document libraries will also be deleted.
You can restore a deleted site and all associated objects if you have admin privilege. SharePoint will keep your deleted sites in the trash for 93 days before permanently deleting them.
