Web Parts

Web Parts are reusable components that allow users to create personalized pages and dashboards in SharePoint. They enable the integration of various types of content and functionality within SharePoint sites.

• Content Web Parts: Display content such as lists, libraries, images, or links.
• Data Web Parts: Connect to data sources and visualize data using charts, tables, or custom queries.
• Media Web Parts: Integrate audio, video, or other multimedia content.
• Social Web Parts: Facilitate social interactions, like user profiles and discussions.

• Customization: Users can modify the appearance and behavior of web parts to meet specific needs.
• Configuration: Web parts can be configured to connect to different content sources or apply filters.
• Personalization: Users can add, remove, and rearrange web parts on their pages for a tailored experience.
• Web Part Connections: Web parts can communicate with each other, allowing for dynamic data exchange between them.

Web Parts respect SharePoint's security and permissions model, ensuring that users can only access and manipulate content they are authorized to view.

SharePoint allows developers to create custom web parts using frameworks such as:

• SharePoint Framework (SPFx): A modern framework for building responsive web parts using JavaScript and React/Angular.
• Classic Web Part Development: Involves creating server-side web parts using .NET, specifically with the use of Visual Studio.

Web Parts enhance the flexibility and functionality of SharePoint sites, empowering users to create dynamic and engaging content tailored to their specific needs.
