Microsoft 365 – Basic Functions and Concepts

In this training, you will find basic information on working with Microsoft 365, so that you can understand and use newly introduced functions independently in the future. With Microsoft 365, new ways of working will come into focus, for example, when you store and manage files in the cloud.

Therefore, this training will first provide basic information on working in the cloud, before going into OneDrive, Office for the Web, and some cross-application features in the Microsoft 365 Apps. The Microsoft 365 Apps include the browser-accessible Microsoft 365 Web Apps (also known as “Office for the Web”) and the Microsoft 365 Desktop Apps.

In addition to explaining individual features, this training will also provide you with information and tips on how to make the most of Microsoft 365 and the cloud in general. Storing files in the cloud and editing them together saves a lot of time when completing tasks and helps to simplify workflows and avoid unnecessary, redundant steps.
