Awesome tips! Looks great

Thank you so much! 🙏

Great video! I totally agree about the consolidated calendar for the entire organization. Can you explain if you accomplish that with out of the box SPO features or do you need a custom web part?

[@origamiconnect]

Thank you! The consolidated calendar shown there is part of Origami toolkit, it’s not plain out of the box

[@briancagle6379]

Great video!!

I am currently changing the home page from sharepoint classic to modern, I however do not understand how to install the origami templates for my site. And I believe this would have been really helpful for that, please do reach out on what I
should do to get the origami templates.

[@origamiconnect]

Here is more on how Origami is installed, full disclosure, Origami is a commercial product so you’ll have to buy it before it can be installed: th-cam.com/video/eW-9oJ0GXl8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c5C6uaVr4o48JCxV

[@queenbey6678]

My advice is use the existing web parts in sharepoint and what for next year's update. There are more parts being released by microsoft early next year.

[@user-eu6zp4ii4p]

Hi Sabina, what web part do you use to welcome users?

[@origamiconnect]

Its the Origami Carousel and a few banners let you do that but you have to have Origami installed for those to show up

[@user-eu6zp4ii4p]

@@origamiconnectThank you!

[@gd6noob]

can you show a video how you created those centralized calendar?

[@origamiconnect]

I’ll send this step by step tutorial but you’ll have to have Origami because that’s an Origami web part that does that: community.origamiconnect.com/t/calendar-color-coded-sharepoint-calendar-microsoft-365-group-calendar/416

[@late_bloomer1125]

How to get that calendar what we have to do for that explain me pls?

[@origamiconnect]

That’s an Origami web part, it’s not included in default SharePoint, it’s an add on that you can buy.

[@ravenmmi]

Hello i dont have finder :(

[@origamiconnect]

I think it’s because you’re not running Origami in your tenant. Finder is the Origami app which is another add on product

[@ayedisafa5542]

​@@origamiconnect how can I add origami app ?

[@bobrocks79]

Please check the levels on your audio. The video has some good information but the highs are destroying my ears.
