Part I: Collaborating with Team Sites
Document libraries and lists display commands on the Ribbon that provide
additional configuration options. These commands are contextual because the
commands that appear depend on the context of where you are in the site.

Modifying the home page
A SharePoint 2010 team site creates a home page that you can modify to
better meet your team’s needs. You can add text or images, or display your
announcements, tasks, or calendar items.
You must be logged into your site as a user with permissions to modify the site’s
pages. That usually means you need to belong to the site’s Members group.
The site’s Members group has contribute permissions by default, which includes
add, edit, and delete. See Chapter 12 for details on managing permissions.
The home page of a team site is a wiki page. Wiki pages provide a richer con-
tent editing experience than Web Part pages. I discuss the kinds of Web pages
in SharePoint in Chapter 9.
To put the home page in Edit mode:
1. Browse to the home page of your team site and then click the Page tab
in the Ribbon.
The Ribbon displays a set of editing options for the Web page.
2. Click the Edit button in the Edit section of the Ribbon.
The page appears in Edit mode.
If you want to lock the page so no one else can edit it at the same time, click
the Check Out button in the Edit section of the Ribbon before placing the page
in Edit mode.
