Browsing SharePoint

Tabs

The tabs at the top of MailConnect are set up by your organisation. Common ones:

Tab	Shows
A list, for example Projects	One location per project, customer or case. Select one to see its libraries and folders.
A library	Its top-level folders, and any files at the top of the library.
Followed Sites	The SharePoint sites you follow. Follow a site in SharePoint to have it here.
Sites (reading mail), Organization (writing mail)	Search across SharePoint.

With only one tab, there’s no row of tabs. The tabs can differ between reading and writing mail.

Moving around

A library folder open in MailConnect: the back arrow and the path at the top, Folders with its add button, and Files with a file’s ⋯ menu open (See details, Rename, Delete)

Select a location, then a library and a folder. The arrow at the top and the path under it take you back up. Open in SharePoint, in the ⋯ menu at the top, opens where you are in SharePoint.

Searching

The search box under the tabs searches the tab you’re in: a list’s locations, by their name and the columns your organisation chose, or your followed sites. Inside a library, it searches the library’s folders and files.

The search tab searches all of SharePoint you have access to:

When reading mail (Sites), it shows sites straight away, and searches them as you type.
When writing mail (Organization), it shows files, libraries and sites, and searches them as you type. Choose All, Sites or Files, and tick files to attach them straight from the results.

Previewing files

Select the preview button on a file to see it without downloading it. It opens in a larger window over Outlook, or in a browser tab if you’ve switched on Open file preview in new tab in your settings.

See details, on a file, shows its name, who created and last changed it and when, and its size. Your organisation can turn previews off.

Folders and files

When you read mail, you can also change folders and files:

To	Do this
Create a folder	Select the add button next to Folders, type a name, and select Create.
Rename or delete a folder	Open ⋯ on the folder: Rename or Delete.
Rename or delete a file	Open ⋯ on the file (or right-click it): Rename or Delete.

MailConnect asks you to confirm before it deletes anything. You can only change what your SharePoint permissions allow, and your organisation can turn each of these off.
