SharePoint Architect's Planning Guide

By: Patrick Tucker

Overview of this book

After opening a toolbox full of tools, it can initially be hard to know which is the right one for the job – which tool works best and when. Showing you how to create an informed and purposeful plan for SharePoint Online in the context of the Microsoft 365 suite of tools is what this book is all about. SharePoint Architect's Planning Guide will help you understand all you can do with SharePoint. Whether the tools are new to you or you’ve used the older versions in the past, your journey will start by learning about the building blocks. This book is not a step-by-step guide; there are tons of online resources to give you that and to help you better keep up with the pace of change. This book is a planning guide, helping you with the context, capabilities, and considerations for implementing SharePoint Online in the most successful way possible. Whether you need to plan a new intranet, migrate files to a modern platform, or take advantage of tools such as Power Platform, Teams, and Planner, this guide will help you get to grips with the technology, ask the right questions to build your plan, and successfully implement it from the technical and user adoption perspectives. By the end of this Microsoft book, you’ll be able to perceive the toolbox as a whole and efficiently prepare a planning and governance document for use in your organization.

In this section, we’ll explore how to control the sharing experience with those outside the organization.

Sharing links

There are two mechanisms for providing access. We’ve looked at adding people to groups, which is more of a direct access approach. Direct access to pieces of content assumes that a user already has access to the site, though they may not have access, or the right level of access, to that content. Sharing links is more designed for sharing individual pieces of content, which can be done with people who aren’t in the site or the connected group. There are multiple sharing links that can be configured as defaults for all sites or configured on a per-site basis.
