Navigating in SharePoint


Many SharePoint tasks involve navigating through several web pages. I provide the navigation path based on the links on each page. For example, "choose Site Settings Go to Site Administration Delete this site means click Site Settings on the navigation bar, click Site Administration on the next page, and finally click Delete this site . Each of these links takes you to a new page, and sometimes you have to search a bit to find the next link. I use this abbreviated style because I think the alternatives are more wordy, but not much clearer.

If you get lost trying to follow the path, you can enter the address of the page directly in your browser's Address bar. The figures that accompany tasks show the addresses of most important pages. For example, this is the address of the page used to delete a site:

 http://wombat1/newsite/_layouts/1033/deleteweb.aspx 

In this case, you'd want to replace //wombat1/newsite/ with the address of the site to delete. Using the address bar is also a handy shortcut for repeating a task on multiple sites: to delete multiple sites, just change the site name as described and repeat for each site you wish to delete.
