The future of work is here and its called the modern workplace. Its modern because the workplace is no longer simply a geographical location. Rather, it is the coming together of transformational elements that allow people like you and me to be productive anytime, anywhere while ensuring the data we use to make business decisions is secure. The collaboration tools in the modern workplace enhance employee-centric experiences, promote well-being, and integrate advanced technologies to streamline tasks and automate processes.

As a cloud-based service designed to meet the needs of the digital age, Microsoft 365 serves as an enabler for driving a modern workplace. The apps, services, features, and functionalities available in Microsoft 365 are like treasure chests waiting to be unlocked. And the best part of these treasure chests? There are no locks and theyre not buried at the bottom of the ocean! All you need to unlock the potential of Microsoft 365 is this book and an Internet connection. Welcome to the modern workplace!

Whether you start your day with meetings in Teams, respond to Outlook emails, create documents with Office apps, or even automate your work with artificial intelligence, Microsoft 365 has you covered. But first, you must unlock the potential of this powerful solution to showcase your ability to adapt to a modern workplace and make an impact in your organization. To do that, you need Microsoft 365 For Dummies.

This book is written to benefit the typical information worker who has access to the Microsoft 365 licenses for the workplace. While the core features of the Office apps covered in this book apply to the Home version of Microsoft 365, take note that web conferencing tools for the Home version and the workplace version are not the same. The former uses Skype while the latter uses Teams.

This book walks you through the steps to get your work done anytime, anywhere, on any device, with Microsoft Teams as the central hub of activities. From chats to online meetings to co-authoring documents in the cloud, developing no-code applications, and even prioritizing your well-being, youll find insights and step-by-step guidance to stay connected and engaged with your colleagues.

True to the For Dummies spirit, this book tackles advanced topics like designing workflows, building apps, and data visualization without making you feel like an outsider who unknowingly walked into a software developers conference. The exercises are written in laymans language replete with screenshots so when you complete an exercise, youll feel a sense of achievement. Who knows, it may even compel you to join a technical community to learn more!

Take note that you may come across another book Ive written entitled Microsoft 365 Business for Admins for Dummies. That book is intended for business owners and IT admins who are planning to implement Microsoft 365 Business in their organization. It is not intended to serve as a how-to book to help end users with their everyday tasks as is the intention of this book.
