MICROSOFT SHAREPOINT HANDBOOK

The Definitive, Enterprise-Grade Blueprint for Architecting Modern Workplace Ecosystems. In the era of cloud-scale data and distributed teams, SharePoint Online is no longer just a file repository-it is the foundational engine powering enterprise data governance, custom business applications, and organizational intelligence. Managing this ecosystem requires a sharp evolution from legacy intranet concepts to modern, flat, security-first information architectures. The Microsoft SharePoint Handbook is a comprehensive, practitioner-led guide engineered for IT administrators, solutions architects, and enterprise governance teams. This book strips away theoretical fluff, delivering the concrete methodologies, real-world deployment blueprints, and production-ready automation scripts needed to master the Microsoft 365 tenant footprint. From raw indexing mechanics to cutting-edge AI integrations, author Sammy Tech bridges the gap between deep infrastructure engineering and seamless employee experiences. What You Will Master Inside This Handbook: Modern Information Architecture: Designing highly scalable, flat site topologies utilizing Hub Sites, managed paths, and modern metadata taxonomy structures that eliminate legacy subsite sprawl. Zero Trust Security & Governance: Enforcing absolute data isolation through advanced permission inheritance rules, conditional access, external sharing boundaries, and deep Microsoft Purview sensitivity label mapping. Power Platform Automation: Building rapid, production-grade cloud workflows and canvas apps directly on top of SharePoint data structures to streamline complex corporate operations. AI-Powered Collaboration & Knowledge Curation: Optimizing Microsoft Search pipelines, configuring third-party Graph Connectors, and leveraging Microsoft Viva to automatically deliver institutional knowledge directly in the employee flow of work. Tenant Monitoring & Analytics: Querying the Unified Audit Log (UAL) for security forensics, interpreting advanced storage trend metrics, and setting up precise Microsoft Fabric integrations. Advanced PowerShell Automation: Deploying dozens of production-ready standard and PnP PowerShell scripts for global permission audits, mass-metadata tagging, and automated bulk site provisioning. Who This Book Is For: M365 & SharePoint Administrators tasked with managing enterprise-scale cloud tenants and scaling storage infrastructure safely. Cloud Solutions Architects designing governance frameworks and collaboration environments for compliance-regulated industries. Power Users & Developers looking to supercharge SharePoint lists and libraries with advanced automation and AI integrations. IT Directors & CIOs seeking an authoritative operational blueprint to maximize their organization's Microsoft 365 licensing ROI. Stop fighting data sprawl and disjointed collaboration systems. Turn your Microsoft 365 tenant into a highly secure, automated, and hyper-efficient corporate engine.
