SharePoint

In plain language

Microsoft's shared team filing system, where a business keeps documents everyone needs.

The metaphor

Like a shared filing room with labelled cabinets: each team has a drawer, and the keys decide who sees what.

Going deeper

How it works

  • Sites hold document libraries for teams.
  • Permissions control who can view or edit.
  • Teams stores its files in SharePoint.
  • Versions and a recycle bin help recovery.

How WILDCARD handles it

Cloud covers Microsoft 365 administration, including SharePoint access and sharing. Unified Backups covers SharePoint data for selected users.

In practice
  • A law firm keeps matter folders on SharePoint.
  • A clinic stores policies in one library.
  • A contractor gets access to one site.

A question owners ask

Who should be able to see what? Start with teams seeing their own site, and review sharing every few months.
