Manage Favorite locations

Favorite locations are personal shortcuts to SharePoint / Office 365 locations.  They can be managed from either OnePlaceMail or OnePlaceDocs and are shared across both solutions. Favorite locations can include SharePoint Site Collections, Sites, Libraries, Lists, Folders or Document Sets and the locations can be from different SharePoint environments.

To deploy SharePoint/Office 365 locations and business solutions to one or more users, learn about OnePlaceLive and the creation of Solution Profiles
