Microsoft SharePoint is getting a new feature that makes it easier for people to create and manage content on Pages and News. Think of it like getting a new, organized toolbox for your workspace. Before, you might have had your tools scattered around, making it a bit tricky to find what you need. Now, with this update, all your tools are neatly arranged in one place, making it easier to pick and choose what you need for your project.
In practical terms, this means when you're working on a SharePoint page, you'll see a new content pane on the right side of your screen. This pane acts like a hub where you can find everything you need to create your content. It includes three main sections: a toolbox for adding different types of content like web parts and media, a properties section for tweaking settings, and design ideas to inspire your layout.
Imagine you're building a house. Previously, you had to walk to different parts of the site to get your hammer, nails, or paint. Now, with this update, everything is in a single, easy-to-access toolbox right next to you. You can simply drag and drop the tools you need onto your work area, making the building process smoother and more efficient.
Additionally, this update introduces some new controls and options, similar to getting new features in your toolbox that allow you to customize your work even more. For example, you can now easily move sections around, duplicate them, or change their properties with just a few clicks.
This change will automatically roll out starting in July 2024, and there's no need for any administrative action to make it happen. It's like getting a free upgrade to your workspace, and all you need to do is let your team know and maybe update your training materials to reflect the new setup. The goal is to make content creation more intuitive and efficient, allowing you to focus on crafting engaging and effective pages.
