Overview
Many professionals use Microsoft Teams every day without knowing how it connects to Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint and Planner. This 90-minute Office 365 collaboration training explains how the Microsoft 365 apps work together and when to use each one.
You'll learn the difference between OneDrive and SharePoint for file storage, how to share files and manage permissions safely, and how to co-edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in real time. The session also covers organizing communication to cut email overload and using Planner for tasks and team projects.
Real-world scenarios show common mistakes that cause duplicated work or lost data, along with time-saving shortcuts and lesser-known features for office-based and remote teams.
Why attend: Switching between Teams, Outlook and SharePoint without a clear plan wastes time and leads to duplicated work and missing files. If you've wondered whether to save something in OneDrive or SharePoint, or why you can't find a file a colleague sent, this session helps. It suits office administrators, executive assistants, HR and operations staff, team leaders, project coordinators, new Microsoft 365 users, remote and hybrid teams, educators and small business owners.
