Check out our top 10 tips to help you get the most of Microsoft 365.
Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based suite of software tools designed to help you do more. Whether you’re an expert or just getting started, there are always new ways to optimise your experience and unlock the full potential of the platform.
Microsoft 365 allows you to access your data from anywhere, collaborate with team members in real time, meet with people virtually, and use thousands of predesigned templates to better communicate with customers and manage your business—all with built-in security technology that safeguards your data and devices from anywhere.
In this guide, we’ll share our top 10 tips to help you get the most of Microsoft 365.
Microsoft Teams brings together all your communication and collaboration tools in one place, from chat and meetings to apps and files. Over 280 million people rely on Teams every month to stay productive and connected.
Create teams for each department or project and use channels to keep conversations focused and organised.
Add tabs for frequently used documents, websites, or apps within each channel. This makes it easier to find and can save time when searching for files.
The scheduling assistant is a great tool to find the best time for meetings so everybody can get involved. Features like screen sharing, meeting recordings, and live captions can also improve communication and accessibility.
Outlook allows you to send, receive, and manage your emails all from one space. We also recommend using the built-in calendar to keep track of appointments, meetings and events.
Outlook has some key features that can help you to stay organised and ahead of the game. Features such as focused inboxes and quick steps means you can automatically prioritise your tasks and emails.
Calendar Integration allows you to sync your calendar with Teams or any other Microsoft 365 app to streamline scheduling and ensure you never miss an important meeting or deadline.
With the increase in cyber threats, security is paramount. Microsoft 365 offers robust features to protect your data:
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - Enable MFA to add an extra layer of security to your accounts, requiring a second form of verification in addition to your password.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) - Implement DLP policies to prevent the accidental sharing of sensitive information. These policies can automatically detect and block the sharing of data.
Create SharePoint sites for different teams or projects to centralise document storage and collaboration. You can customise these to fit your needs.
You can sync your OneDrive files to your device to access them offline. You can also use OneDrive’s sharing features to collaborate on documents in real-time.
Take advantage of version history in both SharePoint and OneDrive to track changes and restore previous versions of documents if needed.
The industry is constantly evolving, and so is Microsoft 365. Stay up to date with the latest features:
Training and Resources - Take advantage of Microsoft’s training resources, including webinars and tutorials. It’s a good idea to encourage your team to participate in ongoing training to stay proficient.
Community and Support - Join the Microsoft 365 community to connect with other users, share tips, and get support. Microsoft’s support team is also available to help with any issues or questions you may have.
