Greetings and Salutations,
What a busy an exciting month it has been, Microsoft Fabric, Entra ID and a whole bunch of releases and conferences!
At this month Adelaide Office 365 User Group meeting, we have Knut Relbe-Moe – 9-time Microsoft MVP presenting “SharePoint, Teams and Viva, get the most out of your M365 environment” all the way from Oslo Norway!
We will look at SharePoint with different webparts, and different ways to integrate it into Teams, with Viva Connection, SharePoint Pages, and SharePoint news. We will briefly also discuss what possibilities multiple Viva Connections will give us now that Microsoft finally allows us to have more than one app.
