This document aims to provide a comprehensive guide on how to share a PowerPoint presentation from SharePoint with someone outside of the SharePoint site, focusing on security settings and best practices.


Chapitres :

  1. Introduction
    In this guide, we will explore the process of sharing a KPI PowerPoint presentation with an assistant who does not have access to the SharePoint site. This approach allows for efficient sharing of specific documents without granting unnecessary access to the entire site.
  2. Sharing Options Overview
    When sharing a document from SharePoint, several options are available. It is important to choose the right method to ensure that the recipient has the appropriate level of access without compromising security.
  3. Step-by-Step Sharing Process
    To share the KPI PowerPoint presentation, follow these steps: 1. Click on the 'Share' button located on the document interface. 2. Start creating a link to the document. 3. Enter the recipient's name (e.g., Deezer). 4. Choose the access level: - Can edit - Can view (and not download) 5. Optionally, write a message to accompany the email invitation. 6. Click 'Invite' to send the email invitation.
  4. Alternative Sharing Methods
    If you are in a Teams meeting with the recipient, you can copy the link and paste it directly into the Teams conversation or an existing email. Additionally, you can use the three ellipses to select the 'Share in Outlook' option, which will open a new email window with the link already included.
  5. Understanding Link Settings
    It is crucial to review the link settings by clicking on the gear icon. The default setting allows sharing with specific people. Other options include: - Anyone in your organization can open the link. - Open to anyone, including those outside your organization (least secure). For best practices, it is recommended to use the 'People you choose' option to maintain document security.
  6. Managing Access After Sharing
    After sharing the document, it is advisable to revisit the link settings after a few days or weeks. To manage access: 1. Click on the three ellipses next to the KPI presentation. 2. Select 'Manage Access' to view who has access and their permissions. 3. If feedback has been received, consider removing the link to maintain security.
  7. Conclusion
    By following these steps, you can effectively share documents from SharePoint with individuals outside your organization while ensuring that security measures are in place. This method allows for targeted sharing without compromising the integrity of your SharePoint site.

00:00:00
I have been working on a KPI presentation
00:00:03
for my colleagues from the sales team
00:00:06
and I would like now to share that
00:00:08
presentation to one of our assistants.
00:00:11
That person is not in the SharePoint site.
00:00:14
Several options are offered to me.
00:00:16
The first thing to notice is that in
00:00:19
order to share the KPI PowerPoint,
00:00:21
I will not have to add the assistant
00:00:24
to the complete Sales SharePoint site.
00:00:28
This would be counterproductive
00:00:30
to give him access to so much
00:00:33
information just for one PowerPoint.
00:00:35
Let's see how I can share a document to
00:00:38
someone outside of my SharePoint site.
00:00:41
Several options are offered to me.
00:00:43
I'm going to click on the share button
00:00:46
right here and start creating a link
00:00:49
to that document from the get go.
00:00:52
I can start by adding a name.
00:00:54
Let's share it to Deezer.
00:00:56
Decide if this I can edit,
00:00:59
view or can view and not download.
00:01:04
I can write her an e-mail and
00:01:07
then click on invite.
00:01:08
An invite will send her an e-mail.
00:01:11
If I write anything in that box,
00:01:14
this text will go with the e-mail.
00:01:17
But what if I'm in a meeting
00:01:19
in teams with Visa?
00:01:21
Well,
00:01:22
I can just copy the link and paste it
00:01:24
in a team's conversation or maybe in
00:01:27
another mail that I already started with.
00:01:31
I can also use the three ellipses
00:01:34
and use the share in Outlook option.
00:01:37
This will automatically open an
00:01:40
e-mail window with a link to the file.
00:01:45
This is main address is already
00:01:47
in the two compartment.
00:01:50
One thing to notice in terms of security
00:01:53
is that when I share a file like this,
00:01:56
I would also invite you to take a look
00:01:58
at the gear button, the link settings.
00:02:02
By default my company these
00:02:06
links are people you choose.
00:02:08
I can only share with specific
00:02:11
people I choose.
00:02:12
You could also use the second type,
00:02:15
which basically means that anyone
00:02:17
inside of your organization could open
00:02:20
the link should they stumble upon it.
00:02:23
The first one that is not available in
00:02:27
my company would be open to anyone,
00:02:30
absolutely anyone inside,
00:02:31
just like outside your organization.
00:02:34
This would mean that this is the
00:02:38
least secure type of link here
00:02:40
in terms of good practices,
00:02:42
we will strongly advise you to
00:02:45
always use people you choose.
00:02:47
This allows Microsoft to realize
00:02:50
specifically who is intending
00:02:52
on opening a document.
00:02:54
If you have to share it though
00:02:56
to quite a big group of people,
00:02:58
well the second one would also work as
00:03:01
it is strictly inside your organization.
00:03:05
Once you have shared that document,
00:03:08
we would also advise you maybe a few days,
00:03:11
few weeks later maybe to go to the
00:03:14
three ellipses on the KPI presentation
00:03:16
and click on Manage Access.
00:03:21
We can see right here that Lisa has a key,
00:03:25
a link and she can edit.
00:03:28
If I go to Links, I can see the
00:03:32
specific link I sent her and
00:03:34
once she gave me her feedback,
00:03:36
I'm going to remove the link.
00:03:39
The idea is not to leave
00:03:43
opened links forever,
00:03:44
and now with that option you are
00:03:48
allowed to share documents to
00:03:50
someone outside your SharePoint
00:03:52
site without having to share
00:03:55
the entire SharePoint site.
