help Microsoft SharePoint FAQ

What does Microsoft SharePoint do that a normal shared folder does not?

SharePoint combines document storage with permissions, version history, search, collaboration, and workflow automation. SharePoint Online also connects with Microsoft 365 tools such as Teams, OneDrive, and Power Automate.

What is the difference between SharePoint Online and SharePoint Server?

SharePoint Online is Microsoft's cloud-hosted service accessed through Microsoft 365, while SharePoint Server is installed and managed on an organization's own infrastructure. The two versions share core collaboration features but differ in hosting, maintenance, and update responsibility.

Can SharePoint automate document approvals without custom software?

Yes, SharePoint libraries can be connected to Power Automate for approval requests, notifications, and status changes. A team can use this for processes such as contract review, policy acknowledgement, or invoice approval.

How does SharePoint work with Microsoft Teams?

Files shared in a Teams channel are stored in the connected SharePoint document library. This lets a team discuss files in Teams while SharePoint manages permissions, versions, and organization-wide document access.
