Users will navigate to the Microsoft 365 portal when accessing services and applications through a web browser. The address for the Microsoft 365 portal is https://portal.office.com, though some organizations may decide to create referrals or redirections from other sites they manage. When a user logs in, they see a landing page similar to the following:

The home page has several features, including the following:

• There's a search bar at the top of the page that allows users to search for applications and files.
• There are tiles or icons for all of the applications that they are licensed to use.
• There's a list of files, organized into categories:
• Recent shows files that a user has recently accessed across various services.
• Pinned shows files that a user has pinned (similar to marking something as favorite in a browser).
• Shared with me lists the files that other users have granted them permissions to access as well as items that they have pinned (similar to saving as a browser favorite).
• Discovery shows files that may be relevant to you, based on Office Graph signals.
• There's a list of recently accessed OneDrive files.
• There are frequently visited or followed SharePoint sites.

Now we have covered both the administrator and user interfaces to the Microsoft 365 platform, as well as some of the features of both.
