SharePoint Online from Scratch
New edition published in February 2025
 SharePoint
Online from Scratch is intended for (future) SharePoint
admins and other power users and content creators.
The book focuses on no-code, hands-on instructions and
explanations on how to practically make use of a SharePoint
tenant for safe collaboration and storage within an organization.
SharePoint Online from Scratch was first published
in March 2016, but the book has been continuously updated.
The latest edition was published in February 2025.
Structure
SharePoint Online from Scratch starts with the basic,
but the book goes further and includes admin settings, security
and advanced use.
Both the modern and the classic experience are covered,
but the modern experience is prioritized.
Demos
Some sections in SharePoint Online from Scratch have
links to
SharePoint Online Tips articles with demos recorded
by Peter Kalmströsm. These demos are not showing
the latest SharePoint versions, but we hope you will still
find it useful to watch them and listen to Peter's reasoning.
Aim
The comprehensive understanding we aim to give in SharePoint
Online from Scratch, will help you explore SharePoint
far beyond the limits of any book and make the platform
serve your organization in the best possible way!
Microsoft often adds enhancements to their cloud platform,
but by understanding why things are done the way
they are, you will be able to figure out how to do things
described in SharePoint Online from Scratch and other
instructions, even if the actual steps are changed a bit.
Purchase
SharePoint Online from Scratch is available as Kindle
e-book and paperback at
Amazon.
Amazon reviews
"The First SharePoint Online Book I Now Recommend To
My Clients
I did an exhaustive examination of the Table of Contents
of almost every recently published SharePoint book available
on Amazon. Peter's organization of the information in his
book was exceptionally notable - and was my first purchase.
My intuition was correct - and I have not been disappointed.
His writing is concise - and provides immediate actionable
value."
"I was looking for a comprehensive book on SharePoint
Online and after much research and downloading of samples
I bought the kindle version of this book. Absolutely fantastic!!
It is really well structured and signposted and has active
links that take you to Peter's excellent website where you
can see really clear video tutorials of each element. I
am fairly techno savvy and have a small business that is
just deploying Office 365 and SharePoint online to help
teams collaborate. Thank you Peter for creating a really
excellent product."
Excercises
SharePoint Online from Scratch gives examples on
how to use SharePoint for management of common business
processes, but more hands-on exercises are given in
SharePoint Online Exercises. This book is suitable
as a complement to SharePoint Online from Scratch,
for more varied learning, when you have achieved some basic
knowledge about SharePoint.

"A great source of information for someone new
to Sharepoint on-line and expected to set up and
administer Sharepoint for a small business.
"Well written, easy to follow. Great for someone
new to SharePoint. If you have Office 365 and want
to learn to use SharePoint this is a great starting
point. "
"It impressive the amount of information and
knowledge that can be gained from this book. I started
briefly reading through the first chapter and relized
how in depth this person is on the subject at hand."
"Was an easy read. I would HIGHLY recommend getting
a free online account to practice with as some of
the items you need to actually do to grasp the meaning
of it. Very structured and there are YouTube (found
them myself) videos of the chapters he is referring
to as an added bonus. Highly recommend this book
as a guide for beginning SharePoint online."
"Peter has done a great job, and I'm looking
forward to reading some of his other books." |
