How to build a SharePoint Knowledge Base | SharePoint Site Designs in 2023

First time I have come across you and your videos Dougie. So pleased to have found your well explained and clear training videos. The knowledge base SharePoint was exactly what I had been looking for. Thanks have subscribed for future videos. 😊

Greetings Dougie, (slight bow), What a fine fellow you are! I’m trying to upskill in SharePoint and you are the Richard Rost (Microsoft Access) of SharePoint being right up there and I thank you for being so. I now believe the Communication version is what this seventy-year-old needs for a catalogue list of some 230 PowerPoint slides – each slide would be a page – in my kind of Knowledge Base example you use. Bot, but, but would this be searchable to support the links on each page (which will take a person to the required page)? 🙂

Thank you

Great content! Thanks.

Great video! I learned a lot very quickly. Keep up with a good work!

I'm really trying to give modern sharepoint KB experience the benefit of the doubt but the metadata driven architecture and too many styling options just turns into mess. Any necessary metadata that is not forced by a template, is forgotten to be added by the content creator (user) so pages get orphaned. And while we suggest using just one header type and regular text, users use all sorts formatting tricks to make the pages look like kidnapping notes. Managing this requires a full-day editor who circles around the site library and keeps the site metadata and formatting unified.

To say this was extremely helpful would be a gross understatement.

I've been tasked by my company to manage SharePoint and after seeing this I must say my confidence level has shot up!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! NEW SUB, OF COURSE! 🤑

Thanks for your video!
One downside of creating a knowledge base in SP that I’ve encountered is the lack of user-friendly search features. For example, if we use enterprise keywords, there’s no way to apply a filter and have records with x AND y show up. The results always show records with x OR y. I wonder if you’ve encountered this issue and if so, how you resolved it.

Hello, I am havinf a ms access database I am trying to link it tot sharepoint. but while exporting tables to sharepoint I get error "There was an error copying data to SharePoint List. Cannot update. Database or object is read-only." can you help?

Hey Dougie. Great Videos. Love the simplicity and efficiency of your "The Hub" sharepoint design. Please keep the great work up! Thanks bro

I recently volunteered to manage my company's SharePoint and your videos have come in handy. I have watched almost all your SharePoint videos. They're easy to understand even for beginners. You make complex concept so easy to grasp. You're a great teacher.

Thank you so much sir for making them.
