How to build a SharePoint Online Communication site - Landing Page

[@ananyareddy444]

What a brilliant lecture!!! Have not seen one single video on any platform who explains as simply and neatly as you do....Thank you very much❤

[@StephMengel]

Your video has been a lifesaver. I have been trying to make sense of Sharepoint forever! With you help, we have started making changes to a site I created years ago that sat there, because nothing made sense. Thank you!

[@josefisrael9887]

You are a true hero...presenting the how to...straight to the point...better than all Microsoft engineers ...God bless you Lauren

[@dianewilson800]

what a great video! good overview of concepts, clear instructions, well-paced. Thank you Lauren

[@signaramawoodstock4115]

I have watched many hours of How To on this topic and yours is the BEST! Thank you for taking the time, well done!

[@laurenkeyit]

Thank you so much for your feedback and I am so pleased you found it helpful. I have just dropped a video that takes you through the steps to create your own colour themes, for communication sites, which might be a great follow on video for you to watch.

[@sudheerkumar5667]

It's clear visible and understand step by step... Tq very useful

[@Racana05]

Helpful! Thanks :)

[@MsBexyBoo]

Absolutely fantastic, thank you! I went from novice to expert by watching this. Can't thank you enough.

[@laurenkeyit]

This made my day Rebecca. It can be daunting when you have been given a task as a novice. So I am pleased you were able to work through this video step by step, as a guide to help you build your own site.

[@nefertitiojinjidekahemphil1290]

Very helpful!

[@tonytango48]

Fantastic video, just what I have been looking for.

[@SharonGyan-vw9rz]

Thank you so much for this video. You are life saver . I have a quick question , the site I created has information containing links to the previous site pages and I’m not sure how to change it from going to the previous site to the sharepoint site . How can I copy the information to sharepoint and link to the site accordingly?

[@missdoglover1644]

Such a clear and informative video thank you! With this I was able to create our team site in a day. I was feeling pretty daunted but you’ve made it really easy for me!

[@laurenkeyit]

Fantastic news. Sounds like you had a productive and successful day. Great to hear and happy that my video helped. Over the coming weeks I shall be putting up some new videos covering Microsoft Teams, so look out for these because SharePoint and Teams interlink nicely. 😊 Thanks for taking the time to send me a message, Lauren

[@davil2566]

Can a communication site be a Homepage of an Intranet? How is it possible to make it the parent site so that other sites inherit its navigation and footer?

[@laurenkeyit]

Yes a communication SharePoint site is exactly what you need to a homepage. Setting this as the hub site is done in the SharePoint admin center. You will need to be a site owner to have the permission to do this.

[@patriciaorrick1621]

I'm trying to understand what is the difference between Topic Communication vs Showcase communication site for Sharepoint? What I am looking for is to have our new Hub have the look and feel of this training video - its marvelous.

[@paparipapari2899]

I used "SharePoint Designer 2007" years ago, but unfortunately, I can no longer see the "code" and "design" environment In the main program window from the later versions. Please guide me if possible.

[@dinoatcharterdotnet]

The sidebar on my SharePoint site has totally disappeared. How can I bring it back and add new links?

[@furkhankhan790]

I don't have that site look options in my sharepoint 365 ? How can i change my header and logo of site??

Excellent Tutorial...!!!! Had looking thru youtube for such a simple sharepoint page design. Thanks for a good explanation and showcasing all the examples in mannered and structured way.

[@laurenkeyit]

You are very welcome. I hope it helped you to build an eye-catching SharePoint communication site. Do keep an eye out later today and Monday for two new videos that I shall be dropping into my channel.

[@insafaccounts5605]

[@christinepetersen7969]

Extremely helpful, I have very little experience with SharePoint and your video was great!

[@laurenkeyit]

That's brilliant that you have got started with SharePoint after watching my videos. Do keep an eye out later today and Monday, when I aim to drop two more new videos. Do subscribe to my channel, then you will get updated when videos are uploaded to my channel. Thanks, Lauren

Amazing! helped me a lot! Thank you!

[@19jasa34]

Hello Lauren, thank you for your nice and informative tutorial. Could you please advise if it is possible to change this ugly superspade.sharepoint.com url to my OWN url. for example superspa.de ?

[@laurenkeyit]

Hello Joachim, sorry I missed this comment. Unfortunately you are not able to customise SharePoint sites to your own URL.

[@laurenkeyit]

Hello, I hope you are well. No, unfortunately this is not possible. Sharepoint is a company data storage management system, its not a 'website' which is what your URL is depicting. All Sharepoint sites need 'Sharepoint'inthe URL. :)

[@cansizzle2748]

This is wonderful!

[@dennishansen7382]

Thank you so much Lauren. With your help, I now understand much more and can work in Sharepoint. Good work, looking forward to much more videos from you

[@laurenkeyit]

Thank you Dennis, and I am pleased it has got you up and running with your work. I take video requests. So, if there is something else you particularly want to learn, which I may not have covered in my current video's, do send me a message.

[@p.treyben5567]

Thank you Ms. Lauren, this is so handy. Glad I found you here. Curious on what training you took and be dubbed a "SharePoint Engineer". I am interested in that training/path. I use SPO everyday and I am learning a lot. Thanks again!!

[@laurenkeyit]

Hello, Thank you for your comments. I have obtained both a post graduate degree and a master's degree in computer science, of which I went on to specialise it SharePoint. Though now I cover all M365 Apps as a Microsoft 365 Trainer at work.

[@gabriellescott7259]

Thank you for being so watchable - your videos have been a real help to me in learning how to do this.

[@laurenkeyit]

Hello Gabrielle, Thank you for your kind words. It is comments like this that keep me inspired to make more for you all. I am pleased you found it useful. Many thanks Lauren

[@martabueno8630]

Thank you for such a nice video! One question: Can you change the title of the Sharepoint Communication Site as many times as you want or it is something that can't be changed over time?

[@laurenkeyit]

I believe this is a feature that Microsoft are launching now, if not soon - Summer 2021.

[@YourStatus706]

Well explained thank you Please do tutorial for sherepoint beginners

I have just dropped the first of my new sharepoint series for beginners. Check it out. It shall cover all you need to know about how to get started in sharepoint. I shall be dropping a new video weekly.

[@starduststuff8601]

Thanks for the video Lauren. I've hit a snag though - I've published my news post but it isn't appearing on the landing page. Instead I have a section for 'showcase a variety of images.' Any suggestions?

Great video ! Simplistic and useful to learn. Not the convoluted microsoft videos. THanks

[@tickletoes3066]

With the comms pages -- can you assign permissions to each page or sections to say to each users who's going to be using it ?

[@laurenkeyit]

In sharepoint, permissions are set (usually) at the hub or site level. It is not recommended to be so granular with permissions being set to each page, as this can become difficult to manage.

[@gabriellescott7259]

I wonder if you can clarify what setting your Communications Site to a Home Site will do. Can this make it the landing page when you log in to O365 or does it just give you an easy way to get to it from there?

[@arouvi4643]

Exactly what I needed to get started, thank you so much for putting this tutorial online.

[@ABCMeEFG]

Incredible video! Every time I was thinking, "oh, that's great, but what about...," you'd have it answered or were getting to it soon. :D Fantastic, thank you so much! May you experience joy and success wherever you go and in whatever you do.

[@tuanlee5155]

Can people outside of the organization access this site?

[@laurenkeyit]

Hello Tuan, Thank you for your message. This particular demo site has now expired, so it is not accessible. However for your own site, yes you can set the necessary permissions to allow external users outside of the organisation to view areas of your SharePoint site if you require. These people usually only have read access rather than the ability to edit.

[@oponoponomeditation]

Amazing Lauren, Thank you very much :)

Can you save a new page as a template?

[@laurenkeyit]

Yes you can. Go to promote om the menu bar after you have published the page > save as template

[@Lennekevanderweegen]

Thanks Lauren for your good explanation. It left me with some questions: 1. Should you first create the page and then add users to it (e.g. in case of a project comms site to inform users about your project)? 2. If your page is live and users are already assigned to it and can see the page. Can you make the updates first 'offline/hidden' before you officially launch/publish it to all users?

[@laurenkeyit]

Hello, Regarding the site infrastructure, the sites (Communication site and Teams sites) needed to be created first, with the security groups allocated to each (owners, members, visitors). The pages within each site will inherit those security groups. Yes, you can make/edit a change, then 'Save draft' (top left corner of edit mode). When you are ready to share your page with your team, you can 'Republish'. I hope that helps. Lauren

[@riswanorake41]

Can we share the web to public?

[@laurenkeyit]

There is the possibility to have visitors to your site, this will need to be set up via the site permissions. Visitors would only have read access and usually only limited to documents. Your IT team would would need to properly plan the site architecture as to how the site will be structured so it is complaint, to what visitors can/can't see. Thanks for watching

Is it always have to sign in for visitor right ?
