Editing your Sharepoint 2010 Site:
Preface:
Sharepoint is actually a content management system comprised of libraries and shortcuts (or links) to those
libraries and the documents or pictures in them. A library may be a list; a collection of pdf docs; a collection of
pictures. Also, we have sites that are comprised of web parts.
Editing your sharepoint site:
1.
Navigate to your site and click on the words sign in: Username needs to be preceded by wlake\ if
you are not doing this from school.
2.
Once you sign in, you should see the Site Actions menu: Now on the left side of the page.
3.
From here is where we can edit this specific page or navigate to our collection of other information.
4.
To edit you’re the page you are on select the option Edit Page. It will open the page in edit mode
and new for Sharepoint 2010, an editing ribbon (similar to other Microsoft office products) will
open up across the top of the page.
5.
No Need to click on that “Rich Text Format” stuff…you can edit right on this page. Font selection,
size and color is limited to facilitate our Branding. Once done, you must remember to Publish. This
saves your changes. I have found that even if you hit Save & Close, your changes will be saved, but
no one else can view the changes until you publish the changes.
6.
For some of you, I have created a calendar and document libraries or lists, but if you want to create
one or to add to them, start by clicking on Site Actions, View All Site Content.
7.
This opens up your content area
8.
You can create libraries here or add info to the libraries already listed. Click on documents and this
is what it brings up. Notice the Add Document, you can just upload a new document.
9.
Updating a calendar. I can create a calendar for you and then you can populate it.
On your page it will look like this, just a list of events. Just follow the prompts to add a new event.
10.
If you click on the word calendar, it will take you to the calendar view. Your events will all be there.
11.
We no longer have Quick Links, but there is side navigation. Editing this is not more complicated,
but for now, let me know if you want a link added and we will work through it.
Disclaimer: These instructions are not totally inclusive, sharepoint has many other options, but these can get
you started and as you get comfortable we can delve in further.
