Instructions
Creating a new site:
The following steps will allow you to bypass the permissions provided by Drexel that limit one's ability to make a site in SharePoint. This will be done by using Microsoft Teams.
- Open Teams app
- Navigate to "Teams" on the left hand side navigation.
- Press "Join or Create Team". Select "Create New Team".
- You have the option to create a team from a template (basic team) or copy from an existing team. Select which best suits your needs.
- Continue on with the Team setup steps including selecting privacy, a name and description for your team (WILL BE YOUR SITE NAME), and adding members.
- You're new team is now set up and a new SharePoint site will be created automatically.
- Once the new team is set up, you should be directed to the new Team General Page. Otherwise you can find this by going to Teams > Expand Teams > Your New Team Name.
- From here, select the "+" sign to expand more options. Select "Apps."
- Search for SharePoint, not to be confused with "SharePoint Pages," and select the icon.
- From here you can add any lists, pages, or documents to the site, or import content from another SharePoint site.
Creating a blank page:
- From your site, select New > Page.
- Choose "Create Blank."
- Select the title to edit the text.
- Select Browse images to choose a new image. You can also choose a new focal point for that image.
- When you're done, select Publish.
