Overview and Key Features:
SharePoint Online is a cloud-based platform that enables groups to collaborate, share and publish documents or web content using a variety of template options. It provides a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from almost any device and all major web browsers.
SharePoint sites can be Teams-connected or standalone. To learn more about SharePoint, including guidance on site governance, best practices, sample sites, cool features and more, visit our site at https://uoft.me/sharepoint.
