    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    What is SharePoint Online used for?

    Organizations use SharePoint Online for intranet and team sites, document management with version history and permissions, and lists that track business data. Because it's part of Microsoft 365, it works closely with Teams, OneDrive, Outlook and the Power Platform.

    Where should a beginner start?

    Start with the Basics topic, then create a site, a list and a document library, and finish with permissions. Those four topics cover what most SharePoint work builds on.

    How can I practise SharePoint without affecting my company's site?

    Use a separate test tenant. Our Microsoft 365 trial guide shows how to create one step by step, so you can try sites, lists and permissions safely.

    What's the difference between SharePoint and OneDrive?

    OneDrive is for your own work files. SharePoint is for content a team or organization shares, with site-level permissions, metadata and version history. Teams file tabs are stored in SharePoint too.

    I already work with SharePoint. What should I learn next?

    Learn to automate SharePoint with Power Automate and build apps on its data with Power Apps. The SharePoint Developer roadmap on our Start Here page shows the order, with a tutorial for each step.
