Adding Content

SharePoint stores the content you want to share in lists and libraries. For example, to add a new link to the Links list on the Home page of a site:
1. Click the Add new link at the bottom of the Links web part on the right side of the page. SharePoint displays a web form for you to fill out for the new list item.
2. Fill out the fields and click OK to save the item. SharePoint adds the link to the list and displays it in the Links web part on the Home page.
To add a new document to the Shared Documents library of a site:
1. On Home page click Add new document at the bottom of the Shared Documents web part in the middle of the page. SharePoint displays the Upload Document page.
2. Click Browse and select a Word or Excel document from your computer to upload.
3. Click OK to upload the document. SharePoint copies the file from your computer to SharePoint and displays the new file in the Shared Documents web part.
List items and documents uploaded to a site are available to anyone who has access to the site. For example, you can open the document you just uploaded by clicking on it in the Shared Documents web part. SharePoint keeps track of user’s permissions so only authorized users can see or change items.
Lists and libraries are stored in folders within each site. What you see on the Home page is just a view of the list or library displayed as a web part. Every list and library has a web part associated with it that you can use to display different views on the site’s Home page and elsewhere.
To view the actual list or library:
=> Click on the title of the web part.
Or
=> Click on the link to the list or library in the Quick Launch area.
Or
=> Click View All Site Content and then click on the list or library shown on that page.
The View All Site Content link lets you get at lists and libraries not shown on the site’s Home page. You choose what to put on the Home page based on what is most important Why Use SharePoint?
