Microsoft SharePoint site creation gets an update
SharePoint Update
Microsoft SharePoint customers are getting a new site creation update to kick off the new year. According to Microsoft, the changes to the experience mean easier choices for SharePoint sites.
Other improvements include site permissions management, role understanding, and more. Microsoft SharePoint also adds
- larger site descriptions,
- better graphics performance
- more context for permissions.
The update will have the greatest impact on users using SharePoint. This will allow them to create sites directly from the start page. Administrators will also benefit from the admin center. According to Microsoft, the update will provide a better understanding of the differences between a team site and a communication site.
Regarding improvements to the site permissions panel, administrators now have access to different permission levels and their meanings. Microsoft has made this easier by creating a hover icon that provides more information.
Microsoft has begun rolling out the update, claiming it will be completed sometime in January 2022.
SharePoint Server Subscription
Over the summer, Microsoft launched a new SharePoint Server Subscription Edition (SE).
It is both an extension of the current SharePoint Server and a new product. SharePoint Server SE is an evolution of the on-premises platform, the next generation according to Microsoft. It is designed to bring security, management, updates, and reliability to SharePoint servers without needing to be online or in the cloud.
Regarding updates, the SE offering provides vendors with continuous updates. It also provides organizations with the flexibility and affordability they need. Customers will be able to obtain major version upgrades more efficiently and have greater control over their updates.
