Office 2016: Save to a Cloud Resource

O365 is a tremendous resource. It can serve a business better when SharePoint on-line libraries are used as a repository for files and documents on which collaboration is required.

Instead of circulating documents for input by different users, simply save them to a SharePoint library where selected personnel can access them for update.

Office 2016 will save by default to a wherever the current document was opened from, even if that is SharePoint or another cloud resource. If the document is new, Office 2016 will revert to ‘Save As’ mode and ask the user where to save. If a document has been opened from the local machine, the user will need to use ‘Save As’ in order to redirect the save to SharePoint.

Using ‘Save As’

Click or tap ‘File’ in the top left corner of the Document window

And select ‘Save As’.

The user can select from here the resource they want to save to. The most important resources are the top items under the ‘Save As’ logo, these are the cloud resources.

To the right are a list of recently used folders, topped by the ‘Current Folder’, that is where the file or document was opened from.

Clicking or tapping the ‘Sites’ item for the corporate site will change the screen to show something similar to that below.

Once again the right column will show recently used resources, but the lowest item is for the whole cloud resource.

If the required destination is not listed in the right column, click on the whole site folder at the bottom.

This will open the web resource ‘Save As’ dialog –

Select the site from the Sites and Workspaces grouping

And from the ‘All Site Content’ chose the library which will be the destination for this document.

Notes:

1. This assumes that the user has Internet access

2. Also that the user has been granted write access to the SharePoint site and library

3. If the library has ‘check in/check out’ enabled the user will be prompter to check out on opening and check in on closing

4. If the library has ‘Approval’ enabled the document will not be visible to other users until ‘Approval’ has been granted

O365: Getting Really Useful Data into SharePoint Libraries See also - Blogs on Library , List , Linking , Teams , Invoicing , Workflow , Bulk Invoicing and Spreadsheet Data A really useful SharePoint Library structure will give you something like this - Just typing the words 'Credit Card' into the SharePoint search box returns a list of items relating to credit card across the entire Office 365 site. Security Don't worry about users accessing documents that are restricted. If you create or place a document into a Teams Document Library, it will be available to members of that Team by default. However, each document can be locked down to no access, view only or edit. You can also stop sharing any document, or alternatively share only with the members of the team you select. Users with whom the document has not been shared with will not be able to access it. Being More Specific That's fine if you know which Credit C...

O365: Create a SharePoint-On-Line Library

O365 is a tremendous resource. It can serve a business better when SharePoint on-line libraries are used as a repository for files and documents on which collaboration is required. Instead of circulating documents for input by different users, simply save them to a SharePoint library where selected personnel can access them for update. Creating a library is a simple process which needs no technical expertise greater than the ability to use a computer. For this exercise we will create and start to populate a library for storing invoice documents. Select the Site An O365 domain can contain many sites. Libraries and Lists within a site can be made to interact with one another so data can be readily shared across the site and recycled. For example, if we choose to create a Customer List within a site and we populate the list with customer names and addresses we can allow other libraries and lists within the site to access and use the name and address data. So, the first jo...
