SharePoint Owner: Add Web Parts & Create Pages

Course description

This course teaches SharePoint site owners how to build professional modern pages in SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365) by using web parts and creating new pages. Learners begin by defining web parts as modular content building blocks that add structure and functionality to a page, and by understanding why available web parts may differ based on organizational settings, installed features, and user permissions. Through demonstrations, participants learn to enter edit mode, add, move, and delete web parts, and navigate the categorized web part gallery. The course highlights widely used options along with key configuration choices. Learners practice using Quick Links to improve navigation by adding links, applying icons or thumbnails, and selecting layouts such as grid, filmstrip, or buttons. They also embed lists and document libraries on a page, adjust views and filters, and use audience targeting to control visibility. The training introduces additional integrations commonly used in organizations, including group calendars, conversation feeds, and components from Viva or Power BI. Examples also include adding forms, countdown timers, and (where permitted) code snippets, reinforcing that modern web parts emphasize clean visuals and easy setup over heavy customization. Learners also create new site pages from the homepage or the Site Pages library, understand draft behavior, and build pages from templates or blank layouts. They update headers and banners, edit Page Details (title, description, thumbnail), publish or save for later, and use version history to support ongoing maintenance.
