7. Introducing SharePoint Designer in
your Organization
Know that anyone can download
directly from Microsoft’s website

they get a “clearance” from IT before
downloading & installing

Administrators
Site Collection Administrators manage permissions for Site Administrators and
Designers
9. Default SPD functionality available for

Changing these
Site Administrators and Designers

No access to detach pages from site definition
No access to manage website hierarchy
Readers and Members
11. Switching Master Pages
Best done easily through SPD
• Team site Master Page
• User content pages (listscontent
v4.master pagesetc)
• _layouts pages (site settings, etc)
• For app experiences, like Search or
Office Web Applications
minimal.master • If you do not need site navigation
• If you do not have a ribbon
• If your app needs the space
• Show site using legacy interface
default.master
• No Ribbon, no fluency
17. XSLT Web Parts
Accessing SharePoint and non-SharePoint
data
Best Practice:
When accessing external
data, only retrieve what
you need to avoid clogging
the bandwidth.
