Use this interactive demo to learn how to link a SharePoint site to an Office 365 Group in Outlook.

Quick summary

When you create an Office 365 Group in Outlook, Microsoft automatically provisions and connects a SharePoint site to that group, giving your team a shared document library and intranet hub without any extra configuration.


Steps

  1. On Outlook's main dashboard, navigate to the top menu bar and click the drop-down arrow next to the New Mail option.
  2. Choose Group from the list of options.
  3. Enter a unique group name and description into their respective input fields.
  4. Click Create to proceed and finalize the new group.
  5. Once the Office 365 Group is created, it is automatically connected to its corresponding SharePoint site — click the SharePoint icon in the top-right corner to access it.

📌 Why this matters

Connecting a SharePoint site to an Office 365 Group in Outlook centralizes team collaboration by linking email-based group communication directly to a shared document library and intranet site. This integration eliminates the need to manually provision SharePoint sites, saving IT administrators time and reducing configuration errors. Teams benefit from a unified Microsoft 365 workspace where files, conversations, and shared resources are accessible from a single hub. For organizations standardizing on Microsoft 365, this workflow is essential for scalable, governed collaboration across departments.
