When educators are added to a SharePoint site, there are a few steps they need to take in order to access the site. Please follow these directions to locate the site:
Adding the SharePoint Site Via the Welcome Email
1. Members will get an invite to the SharePoint via email. Don't delete the email! Click on View Group in Outlook. If you see a message in the email that matches step 2, you can skip to that step.
2. A new email will open. Click on Add to team site.
These steps must be completed in order to view the SharePoint site in your SharePoint App.
3. Once you are in the SharePoint app, you need to click on the star icon to follow the site (makes it easier to find later).
Once you've followed these steps, you should be able to see this site anytime you access SharePoint in Microsoft 365.
