\r\n \t\t\t\t\tAs of Spring 2024, the ability to create new SharePoint 2016 sites has been removed. Please use SharePoint Online<\/a> instead. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n

SharePoint 2016 is an online collaboration and document management tool. You can use it as a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from a variety of devices. All you need is a web browser, such as Google Chrome, or Firefox.<\/p>\n

SharePoint 2016 allows in-browser, simultaneous multi-user editing of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and One Note documents. Sites can be shared with both UVM and non-UVM affiliates when sponsored with a UVM Guest account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our SharePoint 2016 instance is hosted on premise, and is available at https:\/\/sharepoint.uvm.edu<\/a><\/p>\n

          A document library provides a secure place to store files where you and your co-workers can find them easily, work on them together, and access them from any device at any time. The default document library in SharePoint 2016 is “Documents”, however, you may find it beneficial to create addition Document Libraries to better organize your data. Access to Document Libraries can be customized to permit specific members of your team, and restrict others<\/a>.<\/p>\n

          In this example, we’ll create a new Document Library that will be used to store training documents:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Click the\u00a0<\/i> icon in the upper-right corner, then select “Site Contents<\/strong>“.
            \n            \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
          2. From the “Site Contents” menu, select the\u00a0“add an app<\/strong>” button.
            \n            \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
          3. Choose the “Document Library<\/strong>” app.
            \n            \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
          4. Provide a name that best fits the purpose of your newly created Document Library. In this example, we’re naming our library “Training Documents”.
            \n            \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
          5. Your new Document Library will appear in the menu list on the left. You can now use this Document Library to upload or create files, collaborate with others, or restrict permissions to specific individuals of your team<\/a>.
            \n            \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            5. Your new Calendar will appear in the menu list on the left. You can now use this Calendar to schedule tasks, events, and deadlines.
