Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2013 Standard

Organize, sync and share all your content

SharePoint Server 2013 is designed to help you achieve new levels of reliability and performance, delivering features and capabilities that simplify administration, protect communications and information, and empower users while meeting their demands for greater business mobility. A simplified user experience helps you organize, sync and share all your content. New social capabilities make it easy to share ideas, keep track of what your colleagues are working on, and discover experts you never knew existed.

Share

Social features
SharePoint Server 2013 is now been reorganized into three distinct hubs: Newsfeed, OneDrive, and Sites. You no longer need to specifically visit your My Site in a web browser to access social features.

Community site
In SharePoint Server 2010, discussion boards enabled members of a site to share information and discuss topics with other members. SharePoint Server 2013 expands on the discussion concept by introducing Community Sites, which are site collections built using the brand new Community Site template.

OneNote integration with team sites
Now, when you create a team site, a OneNote shared notebook is automatically created as part of the site. You can use this notebook to capture, compile, and share information.

Organize

Keep track of important SharePoint sites
Create new team sites quickly on your Sites page. Follow SharePoint sites and see them listed on your Sites page. People following you get an alert when you start following a site. If a site you create has a newsfeed, you can post to this newsfeed from the public newsfeed.

Keep track of your tasks
See a timeline of your current tasks, including tasks assigned to you in SharePoint, and tasks you entered in other applications such as Outlook that are sent to SharePoint via Exchange. Create new tasks and use views to filter tasks. For example, see which tasks are active, completed, or coming due.

Lists
You can now create and edit lists right on the page, just as you are used to doing in programs such as Microsoft Excel. For example, just click a link and you can add, edit, or delete columns without leaving the page you’re currently editing.

Improved search

Create and maintain Search Centers
Site owners can create and maintain Search Centers, and can customize the styling and settings that affect search results. Phonetic search now works in multiple languages. Search results are logically grouped and provide query suggestions based on past results.

Manage

Site collection health checker
Site collection owners or administrators can use the site collection health checker to detect issues with their site collections and address them before upgrading the sites to the new version. The health checker can repair some issues automatically, but others might require manual steps to repair.
