1. Using SkyDrive Pro
In
previous versions of the SharePoint platform there was a feature called
Workspaces (or if you are familiar with using the MOSS 2007 version of
the platform, it was referred to as Groove). For the SharePoint 2013
platform, Workspaces has been replaced with SkyDrive Pro. Workspaces (or
Groove) was a feature that a team could use to share documents on which
they were collaborating.
-
On the toolbar at the top of SharePoint site Home page, click the SkyDrive link.
2. Using the timeline feature for tasks
The graphic timeline view makes it possible for you to see your task dates at a glance.
-
On the ribbon of your Task List page, click the Tasks tab.
-
Select the check box to the left of a task. (Hover over the title to see the check mark option.)
-
On the ribbon, click the Tasks tab and then, in the Actions group, click Add To Timeline.
3. Mentioning a colleague feature
Many
times, when updating the status on your Newsfeed or replying to a Blog
Post, you’ll reference a colleague’s name. Mentioning someone in
SharePoint 2013 draws attention to others and alerts those people that
you’ve mentioned them. Newsfeeds will also be updated across the
community that someone they’re following has been mentioned.
Similarly, when people in your organization mention you in a post,
you might want to know that it occurred. If your Newsfeed settings
include the option to automatically receive an email when anyone
mentions you in a post, you’ll be notified in your Inbox. You can also
view a history of all posts in which you’ve been mentioned.
