Microsoft 365 - Getting Started with SharePoint Online

SharePoint Online is a cloud-based service that helps organizations share and manage content, knowledge, and applications. It connects you and your team to the content, information, and apps you rely on every day.

SharePoint Online is now enabled for all eligible users. Currently, we are only able to support Modern Site Templates and default configurations.
