Wow! Just found your site and this is the first video I watched. We're looking to modernize our tired Sharepoint site into the Sharepoint 365 environment. This gives me a good framework for doing that!!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! The new modern SharePoint is a breath of fresh air! I will try to shoot an updated video before the end of the year. A lot of tips and tricks I've learned along the way
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the closing jam. I will definitely keep rocking and bring more smooth style to all my future videos. Thanks for your support and stay tuned for more content!
DeShon this is awesome. It's probably going to save me thousands of dollars at work. I like the historical background and am going through all of these.
“A lot of you are on classic”. I work corporately in the medical community. I am just starting to drag them kicking and screaming into teams. I figured I’ll start building the SP sites and once they are aware and familiar drop the SP site like PAZZZOW! Get used to that! Lol. Just starting. Thanks for the vid. I don’t want to make it difficult for the team but I have a lot to learn
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the tip about the SharePoint Look Book site templates helpful. They are definitely a valuable resource when it comes to designing modern SharePoint sites. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to let me know. Happy to help!
Love that ending! great Video- We are building a large renewable energy company and Information Division. I am trying to figure out how to show news about certain energy topics for each state that we are in along with project pictures and information/documents within that state. I want to make this easy to look at where all of our sales people will come to see news and project information and timelines. Starting from scratch so looking forward to your other videos.
thanks for watching Joe! this is doable, you have several options to pull this off. You can create a page per state, and tag the news only for that state. This will enable you to display news, info, and documents only for that state. The other option, would be to send everyone to the same homepage, then use audience targeting to display the state information for the current users. This scenario would be a bit more tricky to set-up and may be prone for people to miss information. I will try to shoot a video on both approaches and explain the different between them.
Hi DeShon, do you have a video on sharepoint best practices? So many videos are for existing businesses which have to deal with old sharepoint or file servers. It would be helpful for startups to get a good security and structure in the start.
Thank you for watching, very good point. let me put some thought behind that and see if I can come up with a series for startups best practices on how to leverage office 365 to run a company.
Thanks for this one Sir. I’ve been working with SharePoint since the 2010 version. I’ve been involved in the migration from 2010 to 2013 and now to 365. Microsoft’s current path of merging its various applications has many IT gatekeepers trying to figure out where they fit in. My fear is that their lack of understanding is going to hamper the flexibility and power that Microsoft is offering by connecting their applications. I’m hoping that this series will give me more ammunition in my plea for them not to lock it down to much.
Awesome man! I hear this more often than not. It's hard to get everyone in IT onboard with the new tech stack and "cloud way" of doing things. They will have to relinquish some control, but it's for the greater good. I'll make sure I dedicate a video in this series just for this topic.
Thanks for watching, I was looking into shoot a video over the weekend on managed properties and modern news and highlighted content web parts. currently there seems to be an issue with the managed property not showing up in the drop-down in the web part properties. I will check again later to see if the issue persists and then shoot the video. The main take away with manage properties and modern SharePoint, is that you need to create the manage properties in the SharePoint admin center... NOT the site collection.
Very good question Samantha! Yes, but be careful not to trigger analysis paralysis. It is always best to start with a prototype (fake content) as a baseline (vs. a blank canvas) ...to give people something to critique. This goes a long way... and will allow you to get to the desired goal quickly. Another thing to consider...these can be rolled out in phases, and the intranet can grow as the company/information grows. So, ok to start with the core features, and add in the bells and whistles later.
Hello DeShon, thank you for this video, do you have a video showing how to disable group creation from Onedrive? I saw your video on how to disable site creation from sharepoint admin but cannot figure out how to disable group creation from onedrive meaning users can create infinite O365 groups. Thank you/
The LookBook is great, but there is one thing that we cannot duplicate: Custom RTE Formatting in the Text Webpart. Can this be explained and/or demonstrated? There is no explanation of this anywhere.
hey Mark thanks again for watching...what type of custom formatting are you looking for in the RTE? I know they have it locked down to enforce consistency (single font, locked color palette, etc...). But there are basic options in there for B,U,I, tables, bullets, headers, and other essentials. What's missing?
@@liztriffitt9612 Yes, from my experience they normally use to quick links on the body of the page (e.g. the red tiles that I have on the Tesla demo site). Very seldom will users go to the menu on mobile, but it makes sense to have it available.
Looks like they move them, this used to be on office.com once you're logged in and scroll to the bottom for the current user it will show recent documents in recent sites. You use to be able to add an anchor tag to the URL to navigate to that section. One workaround would be to create a separate page with just a recent sites web part and link to that, and then the same for recent documents web part. Creating a separate page with just these web parts on the page and displaying as many as you can may fit the bill.
Thank you for the valuable information, I have a situation, and looking for your advise, I have to create a Projects site that will contain all the projects'subsites (+200), how can I organize them in the home page, to be easy for staff to navigate through.
hi Clark, i am farid.. i am newbie in sharepoint. i have a job to create a intranet web portal.. are u have any video about that from the begining? thanks a lot for your help
my first video of the series, will definitely watch it all but good one. Ye things change regularly with multi tenant setup, you never are an expert. Do you think too many changes are happening to soon?
Thank you for watching. Yes, things are moving at an extremely quick pace. I think it is only too fast if you are on the wrong side of the fence. For clients, it is not moving fast enough. Unfortunately for tech consultants, this is the new normal. I find myself always "retooling" and working more than 8 hours a day to keep up. To me it is not laborious, but exciting, and I really do enjoy it.
Hi DeShon.. .was trying to get in touch with you through the email account on the "About" page but it bounces back. What is the best way to get in touch with you?
@@DeShonClark thank you. Can you make a video on best approach to have a sharepoint page to draw out excel tables and charts? I have an excel file with sveral tabs. These tabs hold various tables and charts. I want to create a sharepoint page to have only selected charts show. In other words, 1 page dashboard that looks nice on sharepoint
Hey mate, just wondering if it is possible to use sharepoint lists with xCode. I want to use it like a DB to send and retrieve information from a mobile application. Can you make a tutorial or give me some tutorial to follow? Really urgent. Many thanks.
Hey there! Yes SharePoint lists are rest enabled and have restApi and oAuth capabilities, with this, you consume SharePoint data from any platform or app.
@@DeShonClark I created an app where i can log in with office365(sharepoint) and view files in OneDrive. I did this using azure AD which gave me a client ID. I want to use sharepoint lists as a cms to send information onto an app developed with swift in xCode. I am really stuck and have no idea what to do??
@@DeShonClark no sir. I'll check that out. I've been tasked at work to migrate over to sharepoint 2013. I find all your videos helpful!!! I've never worked on a sharepoint site in my life. Thank you for your help.
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. If you have any questions or need further clarification on the content, feel free to let me know.
First, thank you for watching...I do see the footer option in my tenant...I am configured for beta features so that may be the difference in what you see in my tenant in the video vs on your side...it's there, you should get it soon.
We are all in the same boat, because we were forced to use the team site as our root site collection in the tenant. Microsoft has demoed a feature that will allow you to convert that main site collection to a communication site...I think this is still rolling out, as I have not seen it in my first release tenant. If you have a hub established with a different modern team site as the entry, just deassociate the hub, and reestablish the hub with a comm site and just readd the other site collections...the hub feature is flexible in this way...hope this helps.
I've just been task with the companies Intranet and was told to go through your videos. The first one done, and already very excited. Thank you!
Wow fantastic, let me know if you run into any questions.
Best up to date information for Sharepoint online. Explanation is is clear and concise.

Is there some sort of organization or brainstorming List that should be drafted before creating a site just to see where you would put everything

Love the series. I was hoping to see something about the new architecture and perhaps a conversion strategy.
Not a bad idea, I can see what I can cook up. There are a few tricks to promoting subsites and creating modern news pages

Hi DeShon, thx for sharing your knowledge- question: how can the hub menu be displayed on a mobile device?
Thanks for watching, the hub menu will NOT display on SharePoint mobile. Only the top local nav will be displayed..
DeShon Clark thx. I guess I’ll need to add site nav to the top local nav then for mobile users
@@liztriffitt9612 Yes, from my experience they normally use to quick links on the body of the page (e.g. the red tiles that I have on the Tesla demo site). Very seldom will users go to the menu on mobile, but it makes sense to have it available.
