Description

This episode Michael share three things he wishes he'd known sooner about how information is structured in Microsoft 365, compared to in an EDRMS:

• Microsoft 365 Groups change the way you manage access;
• there is no folder structure, a site just sits there on its own; and
• using content types are key to managing metadata when there's almost no inheritance.

Some links to learn more:

• A surprisingly good visual of all the things connected to a Microsoft 365 Group: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/office-365-groups
• Thinking about sites as standalone things, these pages might be helpful: "Guiding principle: the world is flat" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/information-architecture-modern-experience
• Introducing content types: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/introduction-to-content-types-and-content-type-publishing-e1277a2e-a1e8-4473-9126-91a0647766e5
