Learn about how a site column can be added.
- [Instructor] Before we start adding our own columns,…it's always a good idea to go and see…if they already exist in SharePoint.…For example, this is our leads list,…and we need to add contact information,…such as address and phone numbers.…Let's go check SharePoint and see if they already exist.…Let's start from the Homepage.…To view your existing site columns,…first click the tools menu.…And then select site contents.…In the upper right, there's a link that says site settings.…And site columns is in the web designer galleries.…

Currently, we have the event name and the dates…that they were created and modified.…
