   If you hover over the type icon (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) with your mouse, you see who is editing a document and you can contact the person and ask him or her to check it in.

    Learn more about check out, check in and versions.
11. What if I need help using SharePoint?
    
    • Review SharePoint Online Help.
    • Visit the Marquette IT Services web page for SharePoint Online Site Users. The SharePoint Online site administrator determines permission levels which may limit your ability to carry out some of the instructions listed here.

For Site Owners:

1. Is it possible to enable incoming email in a SharePoint Online document library?
   No, it is not possible to enable incoming email to a document library. If you need this functionality, it is possible to set up an Office 365 Group in Outlook or Outlook on the Web. Email attachments that are sent in Group Conversations are stored in a Group document library that all group members can access.
2. How do I alert users in my department to updates on a list, for example a Contact List?
   

   To set up an alert for a user on your site, navigate to the list.

   • Click or tap the List tab on the ribbon > Alert me > Set alert on this list.
   • Add users beside "Send Alerts To".
   • Choose the type of alert, the changes to send alerts for, and when to send alerts.
     

   To manage alerts for users on your site:
   

   • Click or tap the Gear icon > Site Settings > User Alerts (Under Site Administration.)
   • Click or tap the pull-down to display alerts for another user and edit or delete as needed.
3. How do I check permissions on a SharePoint site?
   
   • To check permissions for a site.
     Navigate to the site.
     Click or tap the Gear icon> Site settings > Site Permissions.
     
   • To check permissions for a document library
     Navigate to the Document Library.
     Click or tap the Gear icon> Library settings > Permissions for this document library.
     
   • To check permissions for a folder or document
     Click or tap ... (to the right of the folder or document name) > Share > Shared with.

     Navigate to the calendar, announcements, contact list, wiki, discussion or survey.
     Click or tap the Calendar tab (or the Contacts or List tab) > List settings > Permissions for this list (under "Permissions and Management")
4. What do I need to know about setting up subsites with different permissions on a SharePoint site?
   When you create a new site and select More Options a window opens where you can select Use Unique Permissions and then click or tap Create.
   
   
   
   SharePoint will then give you the option of adding people to new groups for Visitors, Members and Owners for this new site.
   
   By default, SharePoint will select “Create a new group” for the Visitors, Members and Owners groups.
   
   If you add a user to a new group, you are not adding them to the equivalent group of the parent site.
   
   See more about creating and managing groups in SharePoint Online.
5. How do I check the members of a group?
   Click or tap the Gear icon> Site Settings > Site Permissions. Click or tap the group name in the left navigation pane. Group members will be listed.
6. How do I enable versioning and checkout as a site owner and how do I override checkout?
   Versioning allows users to revert to previous versions of a document and keeps track of changes that are made. Versioning is enabled by default on new document libraries in SharePoint Online.
   
   If a file is check out by another user, the document cannot be edited in the browser or the Office application. As site owner, you can override checkout by clicking or tapping ... beside a document > More > Discard Check Out
   
   Learn more about checkout and versioning.
7. If I delete a web part or an app part on a page, does that delete the content in the web part?
   No, if you delete a web part or an app part by clicking or tapping the Page tab > Edit Page, then click the drop down arrow of the web part and click or tap Delete, the shared documents library, calendar or contact list will not be deleted in this way - it will only be removed from the web page. You may choose to add it as a web part again.

8. How do I add people outside of Marquette as members of my SharePoint web site?
   Share the entire site by adding external users as members and inviting them to sign into SharePoint using a Microsoft account. You can also generate an anonymous link that can be accessed by anyone using this guest link. Learn more about adding external users.
9. How do I edit web parts on a SharePoint page?
   Navigate to the page. Select the PAGE tab > Edit.
   Here you can insert, minimize, delete, and edit Web Parts. The Document Web Parts menu is on the dropdown arrow (right).
