L ESSON I NTRODUCTION In the previous lesson you accessed and took a tour of your SharePoint ® team site. Now it's time to start using SharePoint. One of the primary functions of SharePoint is to provide a central place for people to share and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other types of files. In SharePoint, documents and data are stored in libraries. Libraries are one of the most commonly used content structures in SharePoint. In this lesson, you will work with documents and content in libraries. SharePoint is popular for document sharing and collaboration because it provides a central location for sharing documents rather than mapped network drives or local hard drives. By using SharePoint, the documents are stored centrally and are easily accessible to all members from their browsers or mobile devices. SharePoint also provides access control and management of the documents and data it stores, helping to ensure that only authorized people can access and make changes to files.
