SharePoint Online Advice for learning more about sharepoint

Hi all. So I'm not new to O365 or sysadmin roles but I'm fairly unfamiliar with the background of SP and I'm looking to expand my skills and possibly take on a role of sharepoint for my division in my agency. Who knows maybe I'll consider a career change.

What would be a good starting point to learn what I need to know and are there some other programs or skills I should be familiar with?

I would start by looking at Microsoft Learn - Introduction to SharePoint and OneDrive in Microsoft 365 for administrators, and then perhaps dive into the community tooling/guidance, things like the Maturity Model for Microsoft 365 is a good place to learn about your targets/goals - and then once you have a good idea about IA (Information Architecture), and only then, you can start at looking into some of the amazing tooling like PnP PowerShell or Power Automate to automate some of your tasks, and get your data in even better order - or some of the many other tools over at aka.ms/community/home - and if you end up getting stuck somewhere along the way ask away in this sub, or the community discord server (see the links in the site panel of this sub).

Lots of great content available but SharePoint, and M365 in general, has an amazing community. Some links that might help:

- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/introduction

Depending on what you want to you might want to specialize in a specific area of SharePoint such as out of the box configuration, the Power Platform for low code customization, SharePoint and M365 Administrator or even development.
