What is a Document Library in
SharePoint? Features and Examples
An organization produces thousands of daily
collaborations and discussions and millions of
documents, files, and folders. It is becoming necessary
for organizations to adopt digitalization to make
everything arranged, managed, and accessible easily.
A SharePoint document library can be one of the best
solutions. Read out further to learn more about how a
SharePoint document library can help businesses and
organizations in the best way.
What is SharePoint Document Library?
Consider a document library as a digital location where
all the employees of an organization can keep, share,
organize, and connect all the documents irrespective of
the location. It provides access to all the documents to
everyone from different devices.
Top 5 Features of SharePoint Document Library
The SharePoint document library is embracing
organizations to collaborate and manage documents
efficiently. Here are some of the best features of a
SharePoint Document Library:
This feature allows employees, team members, and
managers to work on a single document
collaboratively i.e., more than one person can easily
work on a single document. It eases the entire
workflow with efficient collaboration and review
processes.
1.Co-Authoring:
Effective communication is the key to success in
an organization. Using the SharePoint document
management system, it is easier to outline easier
communication using Outlook, Yammer, and
Microsoft Teams. All these help employees
connect anywhere and anytime according to
their needs.
2. Communication Tools :
With Metadata, organizations can tag files and make
them arranged at multiple locations along with sorting
and filtering the library to display the files according to
their preferences.
3. Metadata:
The SharePoint document library provides automated
email notifications to all the participants of a library
if someone makes changes to a file, uploads a new
document, or deletes a file in any way.
4. Alerts :
With a document library, it is easier to provide
permission-based access. It includes permission types
such as visitors, members, owners, and admin that
makes it easier to keep files and documents
manageable and efficient.
4. Permissions :
There are various other features that organizations can
utilize using a SharePoint document library. Most
modern and growth-seeking businesses are using it and
moving towards digitalization. What about your
business, are you still using manual files and
documentation? If so, this is the correct time to move
towards digitalization with a SharePoint document
library.
