Creating a SharePoint Site​

info

This part of the exercise is completed in the EasyLife 365 Collaboration App. Sign in to begin.

Now you can initiate the following steps of the learning path.

Day One​

Create a new Communication site using the Learning Communication site template in the EasyLife 365 Collaboration App. Ensure you add a second owner as the policy requires a minimum of two owners. Wait until the SharePoint site is created and then remove the second owner.

Day Two​

Check the Teams activity feed for notifications. The Owner count policy might mark the SharePoint site as non-compliant because the second owner was removed. Add a second owner using the provided button in the notification.

Day Three​

Check the Teams activity feed for notifications again. The Confirmation policy might mark the SharePoint site as non-compliant. Leave it as is to trigger the confirmation policy action on the next policy scan cycle.

Day Four​

The EasyLife 365 Collaboration Engine will remove the SharePoint site as per the policies configured. Verify that the SharePoint site is no longer available in the Collaboration area and in SharePoint.

Cleanup​

Congratulations on completing the EasyLife 365 learning path for SharePoint sites! To wrap up, return to the EasyLife 365 Admin Insiders and delete the Learning Communication site template and the SharePoint Learning Policy.
