What is a Site in SharePoint?

Summary

A guide on how to navigate though SharePoint using the navigation panel options.

A SharePoint site is where conversations, news, documents, and other information are shared with the members of a SharePoint group.
You can navigate through SharePoint site content via the navigation panel. All of the possible options you may run into are as follows:
- Home - brings you to the home page for the site.
- Conversations - opens the "Groups" section of Outlook.
- News - shows any posted news for the site.
- Notebook - opens OneNote to a shared OneNote notebook.
- Documents - shows all of the documents that have been shared on the site.
- Site Contents - contains documents, old versions of the site pages, and all site-related content.
- Pages - If the site contains multiple pages, they will be here, as well as older versions of pages.
- Recycle bin - stores deleted SharePoint content.
- Link - it is common to have links to commonly used websites on the navigation panel.
- Label - creates a static item used to label a section of the navigation panel.
- Calendar - opens the SharePoint calendar view.
- Planner - opens Microsoft Planner.
- Teams - opens the Microsoft Teams to the Teams page that is linked to the SharePoint page.
