….SharePoint
"SharePoint" is shorthand that
some people use to refer to one
or more Microsoft SharePoint
products or technologies. You
can use SharePoint to set up
collaborative sites to share
information with others, manage
documents from start to finish,
and publish reports to help
everyone make better decisions.

Office 365 Group is an email
distribution list that includes a
shared document library and a
group calendar. Any faculty or staff
member can create and manage a
group, making it a convenient
option for small project teams and
committees.

A Few Things You Should Know…
This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY
 When you create …
 An Office 365 Group and corresponding SharePoint site is created
 A Microsoft Team, a Office 365 Group, and corresponding SharePoint site is created
 Files
 They flow up and down between the connected Teams, Groups, and sites but not
conversations and emails
 If you need to add content types or workflow, you need to do so in the SharePoint site.
NOTE: They may only work in SharePoint, i.e. content types only show for use in the
SharePoint site
 Conversations in Office 365 Groups is connected to the distro list and the Conversations in the
Microsoft Team is a message board
 Members
 Limited to 999 people
 Can be used across site collections as a permission group
 There is an app for that! (and by that, I mean an app for all: SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and
Office 365 Groups  )
