#Office365Challenge This weekend at #SPSJHB I had this crazy idea to start #ShareBINGO. Purely because so many terms and buzzwords get thrown around. All for fun of course, but it is obvious how many people don’t (yet) understand what these mean, and that includes me for quite a lot of them.
| Day: | 224 of 365, 141 left |

So here’s my stab at #ShareBINGO 🙂

Delve shows you documents no matter where they’re stored in OneDrive for Business or SharePoint in Office 365. Delve never changes any permissions, so you’ll only see documents that you already have access to. Other people will not see your private documents. |

A big shout out to the #SPSJHB community. My family and friends to say the least. We had such a great weekend.
Overview of my challenge: As an absolute lover of all things Microsoft, I’ve decided to undertake the challenge, of writing a blog every single day, for the next 365 days. Crazy, I know. And I’ll try my best, but if I cannot find something good to say about Office 365 and the Tools it includes for 365 days, I’m changing my profession. So let’s write this epic tale of “Around the Office in 365 Days”. My ode to Microsoft Office 365.
Keep in mind that these tips and tricks do not only apply to Office 365 – but where applicable, to the overall Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.
