Have you heard of Office 365 groups?

Office 365 groups let you choose a set of people that you wish to collaborate with and easily set up a collection of resources for those people to share. You don’t have to worry about manually assigning permissions to all those resources because adding members to the group automatically gives them the permissions they need to use the tools your group provides.

Additionally, groups are the new and improved experience for what we used to use distribution lists or shared mailboxes to do.

You can view Office 365 groups via Outlook or OWA!

Some of the Office 365 group features include:

• Shared Inbox – For email conversations between your members. This inbox has an email address and can be set to accept messages from people outside the group and even outside your organization, much like a traditional distribution list.
• Shared Calendar – For scheduling events related to the group
• SharePoint Document Library – A central place for the group to store and share files
• Shared OneNote Notebook – For gathering ideas, research, and information
• SharePoint Team Site – A central repository for information, links and content relating to your group
• Planner – For assigning and managing project tasks among your group members
