Member SPEN

Is this the right manual for me?
Am I a 'Member'? Anyone who has access to the PortalTalk web parts in SharePoint will in principle also be a 'Member' of one or more SharePoint or MS Teams workspaces. Within these workspaces you collaborate with colleagues, but also with external users.

So, if you want to know about the basic usage of the PortalTalk web parts, this manual is a good start.

What is a workspace?
We often use this term in this manual, but also in the PortalTalk web parts. A workspace is a digital space where people can work together. For example on documents. But also to communicate with each other. Basically, there are two types of workspace available;

• A teams workspace in MS Teams

• A website in SharePoint

It depends on your organization which type of workspaces are used.
The PortalTalk Workspaces web parts deal with both types of workspace.
Many actions in PortalTalk are the same for SharePoint sites and MS Teams teams.

Is this manual only for SharePoint site workspaces?
Basically this is correct.
You have found the PortalTalk web parts in the intranet portal. And now you want to know how to use them.
Of course, this manual is about working with SharePoint sites. But you can also work with MS Teams workspaces from the PortalTalk Workspaces web parts.
If you only work from MS Teams, it is good to know that there is a specific manual for this.

This manual is intended for users who use the PortalTalk web parts in SharePoint.
