Another feature that I actually really like from Microsoft sharepoint is the real time collaboration. In actuality, we can share links of same document and work collaboratively. It aids in monitoring team information associated with tasks, leaves and so forth. It also has a good Single sign on it which stops me from logging in again and again. Very easy to learn and quite comprehensive.

The personalized "Start Page". Instead, it leverages the capabilities of Microsoft Graph to present me with information about the documents that I've recently used and news from the sites that I follow in my daily routine, making it easier and more focused.

Use folders to create a "silo" of information that goes nowhere; use metadata to make multiple "Views" of the data available, so various departments can easily locate the information they need!
