👉 TECH TIP! 👈 You don’t always need to create detailed documents full of text, especially if you’re just putting together some professional ideas. Notebook (located in the left-hand menu) is part of SharePoint and allows you to log short notes, either as reminders or points of reference.

Think of it as a space to create digital sticky notes, which you can use for your own work or to share with others.

Microsoft is retiring its legacy “Microsoft Teams Free (classic)” app on April 12, 2023 and encouraging businesses to move to Microsoft Teams Essentials, a paid version, if they want to keep any previously shared files on the legacy Teams Free app.

A free version of Teams will still be available but will now be called “Microsoft Teams (free)” and there will be no way to automatically transfer or migrate the users’ old data to it. Businesses will need to manually do it or upgrade to the paid Teams Essentials tier.

There are other versions of Teams that you may have. If you need help trying to figure out what version to use or have licensing questions, contact us anytime!

👉 TECH TIP! 👈 Have you ever accidentally deleted something in SharePoint?

Don't panic! There is a recycling bin to restore deleted items.

Absolutely everything that is deleted in SharePoint will end up in the recycle bin. Whether it's a page, file, list item, entire list or entire document library, it will end up in the recycle bin and you will be able to restore it. Items in the recycle bin do have a maximum life of 90 days so after that they are permanently gone.

You can access the recycle bin by going to this URL:
https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite/_layouts/15/RecycleBin.aspx?view=5

Here "yourdomain" and "yoursite" are replaced with your domain and site name.

This is where you will see everything that has been deleted from the SharePoint site including other user's deleted items. This follows the SharePoint site access so you will only see other user's deleted items if you had access to them before they were deleted.

There is also a second stage recycle bin or admin recycle bin but you will need admin access to the site to use this. Items that are deleted in the recycle bin will go to the admin recycle bin. You can access the admin recycle bin from the regular recycle bin. Click on the link at the very bottom that says "Second stage recycle bin".
