SharePoint 2010 features and highlights

Updated user interface

  • The ribbon (introduced in Office 2007) is a new feature in SharePoint Server 2010. It helps you quickly find the commands you need to complete tasks.
  • Ribbon commands are organized in logical groups, displayed together under tabs related to an activity, such as working with document libraries.
  • An improved search results layout categorizes information and includes better descriptions and metadata. Search results also display the people in your social circle at the top.

Collaboration & site management

  • Use the co-authoring feature in SharePoint 2010 to work simultaneously with others on Word documents and PowerPoint presentations.
  • Display multiple SharePoint and Exchange calendars on one page, and quickly add events without leaving the calendar.
