I've just been assigned a
00:00:02
new client for my sales
00:00:04
team and I wish to create a folder in which
00:00:07
to put all the files related
00:00:08
to that client. First,
00:00:10
let's go to the document
00:00:12
library and click on New.
00:00:14
I can now create a folder and
00:00:16
even give it a specific color.
00:00:18
Let's go with a light grid and
00:00:21
name that folder. Client one.
00:00:26
Once created, Please note that SharePoint
00:00:28
is a platform dedicated to collaboration.
00:00:31
Therefore every person that has
00:00:34
access to the SharePoint site has
00:00:37
by default an access to my folder.
00:00:41
In that folder I am now going to go ahead
00:00:44
and create well first a Word document.
00:00:48
I can also create an Excel and a PowerPoint.
00:00:51
I'm going to start by renaming
00:00:54
the Word document too. Contract.
00:00:59
And close the documents.
00:01:01
I do not have to save this modification.
00:01:04
Now if I just refresh the page,
00:01:07
the contract is here.
00:01:10
I'm also going to create an Excel
00:01:12
workbook that I will call Budget,
00:01:15
but this time I will not rename it
00:01:18
using this way I will go back to
00:01:22
the library by closing the Excel.
00:01:24
Click on the three ellipses.
00:01:28
And rename. And this
00:01:31
fight will be called Budget client one.
00:01:38
I can now save
00:01:39
the new name and I just created
00:01:42
a folder and new documents in
00:01:44
a SharePoint document library.
