Select a document, then click “i” for Info.

14. Navigate the interface
Recent: List of all the things you have done:
Files you have accessed anywhere within Office 365
Also your personal OneDrive, if you have one
Consistent with “Recent” files listing in Word, Excel, etc.

15. Navigate the interface
List of all files that have been shared with you by other people in your company
Much easier than digging through old s to find links
Select a file and click “Remove from Shared List” when you no longer need access

16. Navigate the interface
A very relevant Search experience:
Looks at the content of the documents, not just file name (including PDFs)
Owned by me or shared with me

17. Navigate the interface
Discover: a list of all files that you have access to
MS Graph uncovers People that you work with, and shows you the documents that they are working on that you have access to
Whether shared in OneDrive, or you have permissions in SharePoint to at least view
Highlights popular items based on how many other people are actively looking at that content

18. Navigate the interface
Select a file to display options of things you can do with it (them)
Click the “check box” to select
Or drag a box around them with your mouse

Mac (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9.0)
Android (2.3 or later)

xBox (360 or One)

22. Getting and Sharing Links
Kind of like “Drop Box” or syncing “Google Docs”
Get a Link:
For inclusion in another document (Word, PowerPoint, etc.)
Lets anyone who has the link access the document by default
Click that text to open permissions and change those options
Anyone, Only people in your company, or Only Specific people
Read only or editable
Share a Link:
Automatically generates an with the link in it
Same permission options as “Get a Link”. Use Only Specific People to include groups within the organization, or external people by their address
Optionally with an expiration date
Outlook lets you know when the file is accessed, and also remove access later if required with one click
Folder Sharing: make it easy to share multiple items with the same group of people. Tells you how much content you are sharing.
IT can set limits (who to share with, max expiry date, etc.)
