SharePoint 2016

INTERFACE ELEMENT

PURPOSE

Ribbon

The ribbon allows you to perform tasks related to the site. You will see the BROWSE and PAGE tabs on the ribbon, and may see more depending on your role and permissions level. When you select a tab with commands available, the ribbon expands and command buttons become visible allowing you to easily perform those tasks. At the far right of the ribbon you can select the FOLLOW link to be updated when content changes occur. You can also select the Focus on Content button to hide navigation components from view. At the top of the page, above the page title, is the Top Links bar. It may include links to lists, libraries, apps, the top-level site and subsites. Site administrators add links to the Top Links bar to allow users to easily navigate to those specific areas on the site. At the far right is the site search box where you can type search strings and search for content. The Page title is the title of the current page and it appears just below the Top Links bar. On the left side of the page is the Quick Launch area. This area contains links to other pages, subsites, and SharePoint lists, libraries, and apps that are frequently used. Administrators add links to the Quick Launch section to make it easier for users to navigate to popular areas of the site. SharePoint apps are components that site owners and designers add to the site to provide a set of functionality for collaboration. For example, a SharePoint Document Library allows users to share documents. This is the portion of the page where the content is displayed. The page section may be organized in a number different layouts with columns, sidebars, headers and footers. The various portions of the page will contain text, lists, libraries, and apps, and will allow you to access information, perform tasks and collaborate with co-workers.
