Can't find SharePoint

Question

I have Office Professional Pro 2016 installed and activated, works fine for Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint.

I don't see SharePoint anywhere - even if I use the Windows Search function, it's just not found.

Did I have to do something specific when I installed Office to make sure SharePoint was installed?

Can I now add it afterwards?

Hi Glen,

SharePoint is not included with Office. It is a separate utility.

Here is the documentation:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/

Generally it is an organization/enterprise/developer tool.

Please don't shoot the messenger! I am a fellow user trying to help you use the Office that is rather than the one that should be. If you assign a rating to my response, please rate my response, rather than what Microsoft is doing to all of us!

The people who can make changes to Word seldom, if ever, read anything that is posted in this help forum.

You can use the Feedback mechanism in Office or post directly to UserVoice to let developers know what you want.

If you do, you can include a link to this thread. If you do post in UserVoice, please put a link to that post in this thread so others can more easily find it to vote for it.

This forum is a user-to-user support forum. I am a fellow user.

I hope this information helps.

Please let me know if you have any more questions or require further help.

Thanks, I get it. The 5% of your reply that was the answer helps.

I used to use SP in the organization where I worked, but I retired and purchased my own copy of Office.

I had always had SP and expected it to be there, that's why I was confused.

Now I am back doing some contracting and I expect I'll have to get an installation of SP to do the work.

Onward ...
