In these lessons, you will learn how to create a page in SharePoint, how to design the layout and add content to your page, how to post news, and how to use templates to enforce consistency on your pages. In this lesson, I will introduce you to SharePoint pages and will show some samples of some pages. What you're looking at here is a page that lives on a communication site. This site is intended to provide communication to a group of people or perhaps the entire company. As you can see, there's some nice looking links here at the top that are full-sized images that direct the user to some other resource. On the right, you have some quick links that are important, but maybe not quite as important as the highlighted feature links in the middle of the page. There are other images and links that can drive you to content throughout your site. You can even show upcoming events, whether they be holidays or company-wide events that are taking place. And there's no shortage of ways to include links to resources either inside the site or across sites. But really, pages are an opportunity to provide resources and communicate information and documentation to people within your team or in your company. Here we have the ability to add news and post celebrations. We can even allow people to comment on the pages that we're posting. Additionally, on team sites in SharePoint, the layout is a little bit different. You will notice that the navigation is on the left, but all of the same functionality is there. However, team sites tend to be a little bit more collaborative for smaller teams, and that's why we're surfacing news specific to that team, quick links that might be relevant to that team, and important documents that are relevant to that team and that team only. So, you have quite a few layout options for your pages, but they are a great way to communicate information or get information into the hands of your team so that they are all on the same page. Now, stay tuned for the next lesson where I will show you how to create and edit pages. Thanks for watching.
