What is SharePoint?

Microsoft SharePoint replaced the Wiki as our cloud-based document management and team collaboration software.

SharePoint uses document libraries, lists, and sites to organize and share content. In SharePoint, you can create document libraries to organize and share files and set permissions to control who can access, edit, or manage them.

We have created a SharePoint Resource site to help users and admins
