A document management system (DMS) is a computer system used to store and track electronic documents. It allows organizations to digitally manage documents through their creation, distribution, and deletion. Key benefits include cost savings from less paper usage, improved search and security of documents, and audit trails showing who accessed or updated documents. Document management systems also enable remote access to documents and enhance staff productivity, cost reductions, knowledge sharing, and corporate transparency.

8. What is a Document Library?
Put simply a document library is a SharePoint container which can be used to store
documents in a central location. At a basic level a document library is similar to a
network share allowing users to add, view, edit and delete documents over
the network. However, document libraries can be extended beyond this basic
functionality by using a combination of features such as Custo
m Columns, Metadata, Keywords, Versioning and Content Types etc.
Standard Document Libraries
I am going to start by looking at a defaultstandard document library. When a new
SharePoint site is created in you will most likely be provided with a default
document library (usually named Shared Documents). Alternatively a new
document library could be created (Site Actions –> New Document library

9. Document Libraries and Folders
One of the more common ways of organising documents in a
document library is by using folders. I suspect that the reason why
this is so common is that it mimics the behaviour that users are
familiar with from using network shares etc. To add a folder to my
document library, on the ribbon navigate to the Documents
tab. The new folder button should be visible, I need to click on this
and give the folder a name.

11. SharePoint 2013 new
document library features

12. MS has put in a preview functionality in
the list view which make is much easier to find
the right document. Simply just click on the
three dots and you get the preview, an few
actions and information for the document.

13. Search inside the document library
It is now possible to search for documents inside the document library. MS has added a
search box that execute queries directly on the library. The user experience is also very
good because it is without and page reload or redirection to a search center. This is really
something that is going to change the way users til structure their document libraries.

14. Drag and drop for uploading documents
You are now able to drag and drop files directly into a document library from the browser.
This makes it much easier to upload one or more files at the same time. This is not at
feature that only works in IE but also in other browsers fx. Firefox – Nice!

15. Working with views
MS has made it easier and faster to work with views on lists and libraries. The first three
views will be displayed just above the documents. Click the dots to see the rest of the
views on the list. This makes it easy and faster to switch view which was a bit annoying in
the older versions.

16. It is also the same thing for updating views. Change the filter or order in the
view and you will get the opportunity just beside the search box to “Save this
view”.

17. If you click the “Save this view” link you get the screen
below where you can overwrite or save it as a new view.

18. SharePoint 2013 has introduced a new feature called “Share” in the document library where the users can share the documents with other users. I have
created a team site which has Documents library. I have uploaded few documents to the documents library.
Select a document, click on Files tab in the ribbon interface. Click on Share button which is available in the Share & Track group. You can also click on …
button, where you can find an option to Share the document.

19. Enter the user to whom you want to share the document and select
whether the user can only view or edit the document. Click on Ok.

20. Document library
You are now able to create all the Office
documents you use in business. I clicked at
PowerPoint and named the file and the
Office Web Apps do the rest of the magic:

21. By right clicking a my PowerPoint presentation the new callout function
enables you to quickly take some Callout
By right clicking a my PowerPoint presentation the new callout function
enables you to quickly take some decisions:
I love this new feature, how cool is it? You can see an preview of the
presentation! I believe this used to be only available with FAST Search.

22. Edit
As if pointed out that you are able to zoom in! This is pretty cool, just double click in the
document. You have to right click to open a menu:

23. Follow a document
Not only whole sites can be followed. Click in the preview panel on follow to
follow individual documents.

24. /Edit
One of the new features of SharePoint is to quickly share content or sites. Let’s click at Share:
You can type the name of the user in the Invite people box and select Edit or Read permissions. I really love the
new people picker! Just start typing and you will get a suggestion. Really cool! Use the callout to see that the
document is now shared:
The fast sharing of documents is great but again the same old major downside appears: How can you easily see
which documents are shared and with whom? You can't and that is a shame. BUT!! I checked the new My Site
and shows this:
So this is really useful! But for some reason this is not available outside the My Site. Come on Microsoft!
