Microsoft SharePoint | Let's Build an FAQ Page
Ғылым және технология
In this video we're going to create an FAQs page in SharePoint. We'll add an image, format the page and use collapsible sections (accordions) to keep it tidy and focused.

Great video. I actually prefer this to using a list, which is what I originally started with for creating my FAQs.
clear and concise .. what you would expect from a tutorial ! thanks
Thank you. That was an excellent demo.
Thank you so much! Great explanation and examples!

I also would like to know if this is an option?
Many thanks for that excellent video :-)
Well explained. My problem is that the titles of the sections (the questions) are as large as the page title. Is there a way to change the formatting of the questions?
Nicely done video tutorial
What if you have lots of questions. Is there a search box we can add to type key words and only have specific questions related to that key word pop up?
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

Watched this a while back, liked it. Today I needed to create an FAQ page! Sweet! What I'm hoping to do is create multiple FAQ pages for different topics then display a dynamic 'Top 5 FAQ' list on a home page based on FAQ page views/likes. Now if you wanted to do a demo of that solution..... ;-)

I wanted to know this too - I think it's pretty essential - we're going to have hundreds of questions potentially - people will need to be able to search for the thing they need to know, not scroll through searching visually.
This is really helpful thank you. I have a couple of questions please - 1) if I would like to have FAQs for different categories e.g. IT, or onboarding, finance, HR, etc. what would your advice be on how to handle such. Ideally I would like differe Q&A per category. My other question is - can I save a draft version until I have finalized and ready to publish? Will the draft version be visible to others? I prefer not to make drafts visible. Thanks in advance

This is what I wondered - I have a question with what I think is the answer, but I need to confer with others - and I don't want that particular question going live until I've got the lowdown.
Hello Matt - Fantastic demo! Thanks for the tip as I hadn't even noticed the "collapsible" option, yet. One question for you, if you have a moment? Can you tell me, please, how you were able to make the font size for the section display name (the Question text) so small? I have a default font for the "section display name" that is absolutely massive. Thank you! Mike

Is there a way to create a searchbar in the FAQ page?
Hi Matt. Thanks for another great video. I don't seem to have this option in my version of SharePoint. I'll reach out to my IT team to find out what is going on. This would actually be really great for our intranet page. Thanks!

I may have missed it. When we publish a page, do you know where it sits? And the access that others may have to it? I'm trying to find a way to create an FAQ just for my team.
Awesome video! When do you plan on opening registration for your SharePoint Training? I need it so bad

Hi Angela. It will be back open in September. If you subscribe to our newsletter at www.collaboration.coach you’ll get notified as soon as we’re open again. Thanks!
Can we search text on the top?
Hey this is nice, but using this I got a trouble that now I'm not able to use search to find a faq. If I use list then I can search my faq. Do you have any solution for this problem ?
This is a great video and I created an FAQ page this way. I have a problem. When I search content on the page, it rarely shows in the results list and even when it does, it just points to the page and not to the correct Question/Answer set. Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve the search?
Well appreciated .. thanks . Can I deploy the template to another site ?

No you can't do it as far as I know
Once I create the first line question, duplicate it for the second I can no longer edit the panel for the answer
how do I make section head text smaller?
Great video, what is the purpose of the "Got a Question" button and how could this be used for viewers to submit another question?

thanks for sharing - we have been waiting for this feature. What' do you recommend as the best way for people to search the FAQ page to find what they are looking for?

Use the search bar at the top of the SharePoint page. It will return results from the title, metadata and the content of the FAQ page.

If i search this page with the didn't question come up?
This is great. But my users will be searching for their questions. A nice app MS should include would allow a filtered search on the questions.
why now on my share point there's no SECTION DISPLAY NAME? Can you guys please tell me what happen?
This is great, but I have a question. There appears to be not way to search or sort the FAQ, for example for a certain category of questions. If the FAQ gets very long it might be hard to find the question you are looking for. The only way I can think of to remedy this is to make the FAQ into a SharePoint list. Any suggestions?
