Contents shown on the department and committee SharePoint sites are managed by the owners of each site, usually the head of the department or committee. Many of the sites feature a people element that allows the campus to quickly view who is a member of the department or committee. When membership changes, site owners will need to manually update the people element, as it is not automated. To change the people featured, follow these steps:
- As a site owner, go to the site page using the people element (usually the site's home page).
- Click the Edit button in the top right of the page to open up the page editor.
- Delete, add, or rearrange the person(s).
- Publish the updated page. Be sure to click the republish button and not the save button, as saving only saves it as a draft and does not reflect the changes for others to see.
Changes to SharePoint may take up to 24 hours to reflect, due to cookies and site data.
