Does this sound like you?
Your SharePoint looks like a digital junk drawer — files everywhere, no system
You have folders called 'Final', 'Final v2', and 'FINAL FINAL USE THIS ONE'
Nobody on your team saves files in the same place — or can find them again
You're scared to delete anything in case something important disappears
You've tried naming conventions — they lasted about a week before everyone gave up
New starters have no idea where anything is and nobody has time to explain it
The Promise
Understand exactly what the Container Method is and why it works where everything else fails
Define a clear purpose for every site and library — in one sentence
Know which files to keep, archive, and delete — without the fear
Add metadata that makes content findable by people and by Copilot
Build a permission structure that inherits cleanly and doesn't break
Walk away with a completed plan, a filled-in workbook, and an action list
What's Inside
The real causes of SharePoint chaos: feature-first thinking, no defined purpose, too many folders, no team input. Diagnose your situation before you fix it.
The framework that changes everything. Traditional thinking vs. Container thinking. The four container types: Project, Team, Resource, and Process — and how to choose the right one.
The one-sentence purpose formula. A site without a clear purpose becomes a dumping ground. This step stops that from happening — for new sites and existing ones.
Business content first, SharePoint features second. The critical difference between a Document Library (for files) and a List (for structured data) — and why most people get this wrong.
The 3–5 categories rule (backed by cognitive psychology). Folders vs. Metadata — when to use each. Views as the experience layer. This is the most important section in the kit.
Permissions using the inheritance waterfall. Libraries vs. Lists in practice. Navigation that reflects how people actually use the site — not how SharePoint is organised.
Five audit questions to review any existing site. The Trash vs. Treasure decision framework. How to score your site and know whether to fix it or rebuild it.
The Container Planning Worksheet, Container Success Checklist, and a 30-day Action Plan. Everything you need to go from 'I know what's wrong' to 'I know exactly what to do next'.

Copilot Readiness Note
Copilot uses metadata to understand what your content is about. A SharePoint full of files with no columns, no content types, and no structure is invisible to Copilot. The File Sanity Kit teaches you how to add the metadata layer that makes your content findable — by people and by AI.
FAQ
The presentation takes about 45 minutes to work through. The audit and worksheets depend on the size of your SharePoint — most people complete the full kit in a single afternoon.
No — and that's deliberate. Naming conventions don't scale. Metadata does the job more reliably. This kit is built around that principle from the first slide to the last.
No. Everything in this kit is achievable by any SharePoint user with Member or Owner access to a site. No IT admin, no PowerShell, no technical background required.
The PPT version is designed exactly for this. Share it in a team meeting, work through the audit questions together, and fill in the worksheets as a group.
The kit covers how to make decisions about content safely — including how to handle shared links and version history. The Trash vs. Treasure framework helps you decide what to move and what to leave.
You get five files: a PDF slide deck, a PPT slide deck, a How-To Guide PDF, a Full Workbook PDF, and an Excel Worksheets file. Everything you need to plan, present, and action.
What's Next on the Path?
Structure is sorted. Now let's make sure you're sharing files safely. The Sharing Handbook explains permissions the way they actually work — inheritance first, no guesswork.
