Course Number: ELK91–097_rev2.0

Course Length: 1 day

Course Description

Microsoft® SharePoint®, in conjunction with the Microsoft 365™ productivity and office automation suite, provides tools to create and manage a corporate intranet, facilitate content sharing and collaboration, and enable users to create, access, store, and track documents and data in a central location.

Users who already have experience as SharePoint site members and owners may be ready to move on to more advanced site-building tasks such as using custom site templates, custom themes, applying advanced permissions settings, improving security, and preparing sites to support governance and compliance.

Advanced site builders may be ready to undertake more advanced site management tasks, working in conjunction with their SharePoint Administrator to create and use custom site templates, term sets and metadata, manage information governance and compliance, and get deeper into SharePoint security configuration.

This course focuses on these advanced site-building and administration tasks.

Course Objective: In this course, you will perform advanced site-building and administration tasks.

You will:

• Create a custom site template to reduce the time spent creating similarly configured SharePoint sites.
• Configure managed metadata, including custom term sets, content types, and metadata-based navigation.
• Control access through permissions.
• Improve overall security of sites, lists, libraries, folders, list items, and documents.

Target Student: This course is designed for students who already have experience creating Modern SharePoint sites and populating them with content, who want to learn advanced features to extend SharePoint's capabilities, make information easier to find and manage, use SharePoint features to improve governance and compliance, and improve the security of information and services within the SharePoint environment.

Prerequisites: To ensure your success in this course, you should have SharePoint site user skills such as the ability to view and enter data in SharePoint lists and libraries, and to navigate a typical SharePoint site. You should also have intermediate site builder skills such as the ability to create a SharePoint site, apply a site template, populate sites with pages, create lists and libraries, and connect a site to a hub site. You can obtain these skills by taking the following Logical Operations courses:

• Microsoft® SharePoint® Modern Experience: Site Basics
• Microsoft® SharePoint® Modern Experience: Site Owner with Power Platform
