Sharing a Site
With SharePoint, you can send an invitation to share a site (New!) with others who do or don’t already have access to it. You can specify a name from your members or enter any email address, and include a personal message with your invitation. That’s all you need to do, unless you want to specify other options to send an email invitation or set a group or permission level (New!) including Members [Edit], Owners [Full Control], or Visitor [Read]. Whenever a site document gets updated, you can receive alerts in your Newsfeed. You can also use your mobile device to share a site document or folder in a library.
Share a Site
In your web browser, open your SharePoint site.
Navigate to the site you want to share.
Click the Share button on the Navigation bar.
Enter names, email addresses, or ‘Everyone’, and then select them from the list, as available.
Enter an optional message to include with the email invitation.
To set other options, click the Show Options link, and then specify any of the following:
- Send an email invitation. Select or clear the check box to include or not the personal message with the invitation.
- Select a group or permission level. Select a group or permission level, including Members [Edit], Owners [Full Control], or Visitor [Read].
Click Share to send the invitation.
In the recipients email program, a message appears with a link to go to the site.
