Ways to Collaborate Better With Office 365:

  • Co-Author Documents in Real Time With Office Online:

By Using office online multiple users/authors can work together on the same documents together at the same time, Office online saves all changes automatically, so every one sees last modified version of the document, with same font, layout and same formatting not matter what device or browser you or your team member use.

This real time sync will help a team to work more efficient and smooth with all changes you will always have up to date version.

 

  • Teamwork With Microsoft Teams

Communication is the key to collaboration in businesses. That’s why Microsoft has introduced a chat-based workspace called Teams to Office 365 to facilitate communication. This tool integrates with all other Office 365 applications, including Planner, Onenote and SharePoint. If you can get all your team member to discuss a projects they’re working on in teams, it could be of significant benefit in business.

All conversations will be available for review, and they will all be stored in the same place. The conversations are all stored on a secure cloud server, so you don’t have to worry about anyone accessing information your team member shouldn’t have.

 

  • Automate Workflow With Flow

Microsoft Flow was developed to help companies automate their workflows. In today’s digital age, team members use a large number of applications and services every day. Flow brings all these tasks together in a well-designed workflow so that everyone knows what they need to do at all times. With clear workflows, your projects can run more efficiently, increasing your team’s overall productivity and ROI.

 

  • With OneDrive for BusinessStore you can Store Files in the Cloud

One of the most important components of Microsoft Office 365 is OneDrive for Business. This is a place where you can store files and share them with your team members. Every time your colleague makes changes to a document, the content is automatically synchronized so everyone has access to the latest version.

If you want only a subset of your team members to have access to a document, you can set permissions so that only certain people can view or edit the files.

 

At the end, i hope i just scratch the only the surface of Office 365, your could do much more with Power BI, Powe App also that i didn’t include here. Making sure when you use a product fully will help you not just your student life but also your carrier or your business in future, i encourage you to read more about Microsoft 365 offical documentation to lean more. Not underestimating, remember that NSA used Sharepoint for there entire architecture.
