In this guide, we show you how to add the Cloud Design Box Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Web Part to your SharePoint sites.
The FAQ web part is an extremely versatile addition to any SharePoint site and can be customised to create an interactive FAQs section to help give quick guidance to your users.
What’s more, it’s searchable, allowing users to type in a question and quickly get an answer.
One example of the FAQ web part being particularly useful is for IT Help sites. Simply make a list of your most common questions and add them to the web part. It can be really useful for onboarding new staff to SharePoint.
Meanwhile, it can also be used on teaching and learning sites, guiding students on how to use SharePoint to find their learning resources.
Below, we show you how to add the FAQ web part to your SharePoint sites – it only takes a minute or two.
