Sharepoint 2013 Part D

This is the 4th installment in my blog post series on Microsoft Sharepoint 2013 which is based on what I learn doing the video training course by Infinite Skills on this software. There is a recycle bin with in Sharepoint that I did mention previously. It prevents content being deleted completely deleted accidently and works in a similar fashion to the one in Windows. The recycle bin can be found in site contents at the top of the page on the right where it says recycle bin. You click the item then restore selection. It restores it exactly to the exact point it was in originally. Wikis use double square brackets to denote links which helps avoid you having to edit HTML. You can create a new page with in a wiki simply create a link don't link it to anything and when you double click it a new page should open. By default you have a blog on your mysite with in the sharepoint site. Blogs are more one way than wikis. If using a blog be careful about expressing your opinion on something and make sure it is appropriate as many people have been sued or fired for saying the wrong thing. Many employees find they are quite happy using the wiki and don't need to do a job. Another feature with in Sharepoint is surveys but use them sparingly. You must have members permissions to participate in a survey. To participate you select your name from the list or type it exactly and click the select participant button which underlines it to show it has detected it. If you start doing a blog there is a default blog post and the menu for doing things like creating blog posts and managing posts is on the top right. Of course you either go into blog or whatever you have titled your blog to find this. Many people do articles in Microsoft Office and then copy and paste them into the Sharepoint site because they have the benefit of a spelling and grammar checker. You may also find from time to time you have to click refresh to update the page.
