Sharepoint 2013 Part E

This is the 5th installment in my blog post series on Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2013 which is based on what I learn on the video training course on this software by Infinite skills. In the document library you can either click upload file on the ribbon, select the file and click add or open the 2 programs side by side and drag and drop with the mouse to add files to sharepoint. There is next to each file a .... button called the ellipsis or open menu button that has various options including previewing the document without opening it. In image libraries there are thumbnails and slide options. Thumbnails are photos generally and appear smaller than the images in slides and allow you to preview images. They also tell you the filesize with any images which is often quite useful. Libraries can store and standardize slides so they can be updated and re used. You have to go into Powerpoint and export to Sharepoint and refresh Sharepoint when you are back in it. You can click share / publish slides / publish slides / share. This copies slides into a destination like Sharepoint. You can tick what slides you're using, click copy slides to presentation and that copies them to one place where you can do a presentation. There are lite versions of Office with in Sharepoint which is a new feature in this version but most people use the full versions. You can export work from Office into a Sharepoint folder they both share. Simply click the library tab/ connect to office with in Sharepoint on the ribbon. It takes a while to create the folder but it is then quite easy to transfer work. In a very similar location is connect to outlook which synchronizes the calendar app between the 2 programs. The next installment in this blog series will be the last but I'll try and do that later tonight.
