Is anyone using the new-ish Sharepoint Home page?
Is anyone using the new-ish home page: https://tentant_name.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx I am curious how people frame it out for end users and/or if people find it useful? ...
Hi RobOK,
I started using it only recently.
The problem for most companies is that the 'marketing bit of an intranet is missing'. Company news and ll the other stuff that people like to put oin intranet portals is simply not there.
Also my compnay didn't like Office Graph ( I'm working on getting it reintroduced ) but in the meanshwile I get :
You’re seeing a limited version of this page because Office Graph is turned off or it’s not available.
Yes the new home page gives me qucik access to all my team sites, but it does feel a bit like someone else is decideing what I should be doing.
Also all of the custom branding (unless your corporate branding includes pink, red, green purple and all sorts of other colours) has all gone. Just the logo in the top bar is currently left. Maybe I'm just old fashioned and branding has simply disappeared from the modern portals.
The annoying thing is that a lot of my important document don't live in modern term sites yet. They just live in folders in document libraries within the main portal site collection. These documents/folders/librasries are currently not presented to me. With the added benefit of no top navigation ... this new home is not an improvemnt to my experience yet.
Indeed is evolving with the addition of the Teams news at this level
- Any ideas of what comes next or the "vision" for this page? Is that talked about anywhere?
Maybe at the next Virtual Summit:
