What exactly happen when users Follow a site
I read many articles about what happens when we follow a site in sharepoint online, i found those main 2 benefits:- 1. The sites will appear under the "Following" section on the SharePoint home page...
Hi John,
Good to hear from you.
Follow Sites has many other benefits than just search , its driven by the Office Graph internally
It’s a kind of bookmark and Quick link, you can easily find the site that you liked.
Sites When you copy files from one site/library to another. You get to presented with a short list of sites of your followed sites these sites are listed based on Office Graph. So you don’t have to search the site to copy a single file.
When it comes to Mobile apps SharePoint or Onedrive app its not that easy to search or work like a desktop , these followed sites will be listed under user-built hierarchical menus.
When you have 1000 of sites in your portal, when you try to do “save as” a file you don’t have to go through searching for several sites to save them if you have the followed list of sites
By following a site, you tell SharePoint modern search (Office Graph) that the site and its content are important. So anytime you do a search from SharePoint Home or Office 365 Home or Delve, content from followed sites is prioritized.
