Exploring Sharepoint

I have my website set up with a personalized homepage and at least one calendar entry with links!

Editing your home page

Click on the PAGE tab and then the “Check Out” icon to enable editing.

Click on Edit.

Just click on the section you want to change…. It works a lot like Word.

After you make your changes, click on the “Check it in” link,

then press “Continue.”

The changes that you have made are visible only to you until you publish the page. When you are ready for everyone else to see it, click on “Publish this draft” link.

Editing your calendar entries

To make changes to a calendar entry, click on the calendar date you want to change, then click “Edit Item.” This will take you back to the same screen you had when you created the entry.

If you put the calendar entry on the wrong date, you can drag and drop it to a new date.
