SharePoint App:
What it is and what it is for

For the past few years, Microsoft has been investing in the development of practical and intuitive solutions to make its tools even easier to use.

The SharePoint-based app for iOS and Android devices is among the most successful products.

The app was created to solve a widespread problem in the corporate world of being able to access corporate resources, services, and content from anywhere, from the coffee machine to the room rented for the trip of the moment.

Whether you're on the train or on vacation - for you, workaholics - you can always keep up to date with the latest news, talk to your favorite colleagues, or simply browse sites, pages, libraries, and content.

You never know you'll find something useful for when you're in the office!

SharePoint App: Feed section

The first feature to explore is the Feed.

The Feed is the section you generally find on the main page of a website or social media site. Here, you can scroll through and view content regularly added to the sites you subscribe to.

Basically, it is a showcase that offers news, discussions and posts that are constantly updated and, possibly, customized to the user's interests.

In the SharePoint app, you can enter this information section from the tab at the bottom center, called "Find".

Within it, you then find content posted on the sites of which you are a member, and the news, conversations, and resources most akin to your intranet searches.

However, let's see in detail how this content is organized in the app:

• Quick access.

In this area, you can find the posts, files, and people in your company that you have most recently viewed.

You can thus find the most useful links for your work always at the top of the Feed.

• Popular Sites.

The number of views is important for any social platform, and the SharePoint app is no exception.

Its sites - and the intranet in particular - were created to make communication between people in the same company more fluid.

For this reason, the app highlights the most visited sites on your network and suggests pages where you might start a discussion or discover new services and tools.

• Contacts.

To learn more about your work environment, to find out who can help you, or to send a message to your favorite colleagues, this area will be your one-stop shop.

Here, you will find a short expandable list with the names, photo and role of every single person who makes up the corporate organizational chart.

Have fun flipping through this mini-book and finding the right person for any occasion.

• Featured Links.

Intranet admins can choose whether and which links to put at the fingertips of all users.

In this area, you will accordingly find links that your company considers important, ranging from the annual report to the next corporate webinar page.

Pay attention, because these links tend to change over time.

• Research.

Of course, no Feed is foolproof.

Should you not find what you need among the content offered, you can always use the search bar at the top of the screen.

Searching the SharePoint app allows you to retrieve contacts, files, sites and pages found throughout the Microsoft 365 space.

This is because underlying the platform is Microsoft cloud storage, which allows you to reach content stored in your corporate OneDrive.

Convenient, right?
