Introduction to SharePoint Online

Here’s a longer webinar that I have created on the an Introduction to SharePoint Online.

In it you’ll get an understanding of how SharePoint Online integrates with Office 365, what plans are available and how to perform some of the most common operations with Sharepoint Online.

I’ve also made the slide deck of the presentation available on my docs.com here:

You should then receive an email with a promotional code and a link to a site where you can enter the code.

Just enter the code you received in the email and select Submit. The code will be verified and if all is correct you’ll then need to enter a shipping address for the dock.

You’ll then receive a confirmation email that you claim has been submitted and you should receive your dock in 6 – 8 weeks.

I think the display dock is a ‘must have’ for Lumia 950 devices and now there is no reason not to get one. Good on ya Microsoft.
