Exploring SharePoint 2013 Collaboration Records Management and Compliance Social Improvements
SP 2013 Collaboration OneNote Notebook included in the Team Site for taking and storing notes locally Share Dialog Interface, which allows users to quickly add people to list and share content even between site collections Callout Feature for managing Items in List or Library Drag and Drop Between Sites or between SharePoint/Desktop allowing you to quickly move documents between sites or between SharePoint and your local environment.
Records Management Site-Based Compliance SharePoint Sites are now integrated with Team Mailboxes in SharePoint 2013, which means that any time an end user is preserving content, both the SharePoint Sites and the Team Mailboxes are searched. In-Place Records Management SharePoint 2013 still has In-Place records management, but now it preserves content that has been modified. So if a user has put a lock on the content, it allows other users to make a change to the document, but it keeps a copy of the content as it was prior to the modification. Documents, list items, pages and Exchange Server 2013 mailboxes can be preserved. The preservation of the information is done at the site level but you can use filters to avoid preserving the entire site or mailbox. Enterprise-Wide e-discovery SharePoint Server 2013 introduces a new site for managing and holding your discovery cases. Within this site collection you can perform e-discovery queries across multiple SharePoint farms and Exchange servers and preserve the items that are discovered. You create a new site for each case using the ediscovery Center site template. This site creates a portal through which you can access discovery cases to conduct searches, place content on hold, and export content. To implement e-discovery across the enterprise, configure SharePoint Server 2013 Search to crawl all file shares and websites that contain discoverable content. You can then export the results of an e-discovery search for later import into a review tool.
Social Community Sites Community Sites allow users to create discussions and organization them based on categories. SharePoint 2013 also includes new Site Templates for the Community Sites. My Sites My Sites have been redesigned and modernized for SharePoint 2013. They have also been simplified and provide more unified navigation. There is also a Tasks Page for the aggregation of tasks that can be synchronized using the new Work Management service application. Document Libraries Document Libraries can be used to share content with others to increase collaboration. Users can create libraries and choose which libraries they want to share with other users to collaborate on documents in the library.
