What is SharePoint?

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 edit and organize their shared content.
