Creating a Space for Announcements

Tip Because the new document library is placed on the current page, you might want to create a new page before adding a document library. You’ll learn how to do this in detail in Chapter 5, but the quick steps are to scroll down on the Home page and click Create New Page on the right side of the page.

Another thing you might want to do right off the bat with your team site involves creating a space where your team can share upcoming announcements related to your shared work. You might post news about upcoming meetings, post the results of surveys, or share ideas you want to discuss with the team. Like everything else in SharePoint Online, your announcement lists are completely customizable and you can add multiple lists to share different types of information—whatever best fits your team. (See Figure 4-4.)
