SharePoint Designer Valuable Features
I didn’t need any other features apart from the PPT. Although, I came across many features during the training that could be helpful.
It’s very convenient for me to update. Last time I used a function called Word. It is a good function, which I can use to coordinate easily. It is easy for me to maintain the DTP, even though I have limited access to the website. It is applicable and makes my drop-down wonderful when the task gets busy or you don’t have access to everything. It is a good workaround and a good solution.
View full review »We like the highly customizable websites that you can build. For example, when we were building it for the client, we could design and customize it according to what the client wanted as that was the requirement so that they can access it and see their own logos and stuff, subsequently entering their own data. Customization is one of the best parts of it.
The data collection platform has value. So we had different kinds of access for different clients, and they could collaborate on one particular, for example, an Excel file uploaded on SharePoint. They enter their own data. Ten-odd people could access the same file, enter their own data, and save it on our servers. Collaboration is one of the other big things with SharePoint.

It saved me a big time once! My car got broken into, and they took my laptop with all my files. But I didn't have to worry because everything was backed up on SharePoint. It was a lifesaver!

The Power App is the most valuable feature. We can design it to look exactly how we want it to be, without requiring an expert's assistance to set it up. We have the freedom to make changes on our own and can easily connect and generate leads.
The most valuable feature of SharePoint Designer is the storing of files. In the Office 365 version, there is the capability to share files with others which is helpful. The files have cross versions capability. If the solution is shut down abruptly the file is stored on the system automatically.

One of the most valuable features is that it's free. If you have SharePoint and you want to do some branding, then the only tool available is SharePoint Designer. Microsoft gives the portal, the content management system, and, on top of that, it gives you Designer. So we don't have a choice, but Designer is good.

The previous version of the solution was good as we had different views of both the design and the code. The new version doesn't have the option to view data but it has other, better features though.

Previously, however, we used SharePoint Designer 2013 widely for data mining, exploring the content, and editing. Those are the main features that you would need to use SharePoint Designer for.

The most valuable feature is the capability of creating HTML pages, with CSS code. For example, most of the time I mirror in the web area, which means that I need to create an HTML file. Inside this HTML file I will write my web VBI.
Other valuable features are the ability able to update the master file, and creating the workflow.

I am a developer, and whatever is not possible with the SharePoint default feature, we make custom features available for our clients. Anything which is not possible using all the methods within the solution we can customize.
SharePoint Online is not only a SharePoint standalone, but they have integrated it with other Microsoft services, such as Microsoft BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate. We can deliver any business solution using other Microsoft service, which is collaborative with SharePoint.
SharePoint have their own roadmaps, with the new features that they're coming out which is informative.
Microsoft has invested in SharePoint heavily in terms of UI, stability, performance. It is a very good solution.
