Sharepoint download

Question

I have 365 personal (annual recurring) and have just bought a single person use of Sharepoint which I am trying to set up to use with a training course... having set up the licence, I can see nowhere to download the software - please advise?

Answer 1

Dear Gary Speirs,

Good day!!

As per the description shared, I understand your concern i.e., you have signed up for the SharePoint Online standalone subscription i.e., SharePoint Online Plan 1 or SharePoint Online Plan 2 and looking to download the SharePoint software on your computer.

If my understanding is correct, I would like to convey that SharePoint Online is a cloud based service where there is no any application to use SharePoint Services either on the Windows or Mac, where we just require the browser to access the SharePoint Online services. (SharePoint application is available either on Android OS or iOS, where it's free to install either on Play store or App Store)

Open your browser on your Mac device> Access https://portal.office.com> Enter the Office 365 accounts which you have registered for SharePoint Online license (it will be like ******@companyname.onmicrosoft.com)> Click on the 9 dots at the top left> Click on the SharePoint> Start using the SharePoint Online services.

Here are the references for SharePoint Online guide:

Get started with Microsoft SharePoint Online (User training) – Microsoft Adoption

SharePoint video training - Microsoft Support

If there is any misunderstanding or confusion, we apologize and request you to share the more detailed information with some screenshots which will help us to better understand and guide you further.

Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

Best Regards,

Sophia

Thank you - this looks positive, but the training is also asking me to go into look books to select a template and look for the 'add to tenant'... however that button does not appear when I do that - may the site setup have changed - this course is 2 years old? I know you keep changing things (frustrating btw)...Many thanks

Dear Gary Speirs,

Thanks for writing back and updating with us. Apologies for the delay in the response.

As per the further updates, since you have mentioned “but the training is also asking me to go into look books to select a template and look for the “add to tenant”; however the button doesn’t appear when I do that”, can you please share the following information which will help to better understand and check from our end:

1. Screenshot of the UI and button missing.
2. URL of the training you are referring and section where it mentioned to select a template and look for the add to tenant.

Appreciate your efforts and time with us. Have a wonderful day!!

Best Regards,

Sophia
