- [Narrator] The SharePoint project site
gives you the basics to get started,
but the beauty of SharePoint lies in the ability
to customize it and include additional lists
and libraries as needed.
In SharePoint Online, we call these apps.
The team has decided that they would prefer
to have the updates communicated
in SharePoint instead of email.
You decide to use the Announcements list
to create an Updates list and display it on the homepage
to ensure that the project updates
are readily available to them.
To add the Announcements list,
go to the Tools menu, and select Add an App.
We could scroll through and look at all of the options here
but I know it's called Announcements,
so let's go ahead and search for that.
Once you've located your app,
go ahead and select it, and then you're prompted for a name.
Again, I encourage you to go into the Advanced Options
to give it a little bit more information.
Here I can add a name and a description.
We're gonna call it Updates,
and in the description, we're gonna
call it Project Communications.
And then click Create.
We now have our Announcements list,
but remember, we want to keep our team members up to date,
so let's add it to the homepage.
Now currently, we have the Project Summary,
the Get It Started web bar, and then the Documents list.
Once you've completed all of the steps
in the Get It Started bar, you can rid of that,
so let's click Remove This.
And now, we want to add our Updates list.
To do that, we need to edit the page.
So, click Page at the top of the page, and select Edit Page.
To add the Updates list, let's click Add a Web Part,
and then select the Updates list, and click Add.
The Updates list was added to the top of the page,
but the Project Summary really belongs there.
So, we need to reorder these.
To reorder your web parts, you need to edit that web part.
Hover over the web part in the upper right-hand corner,
and select Edit Web Part.
In the Layout section, type in the proper zone index.
So this one's going to be one.
Scroll down, and click Okay.
We now have the Project Summary back at the top,
and the Updates just below that.
After you finish editing your page, click Stop Editing.
Our team now has a nice dashboard they can use
to keep up to date on our project.
