Read, edit, or delete a document in a document library
Document libraries are collections of files that you share with team members. For example, you could create a library of common graphics for a project or a collection of Microsoft Word documents containing your monthly status reports. A document library appears on a page that lists each file and its properties, as well as a hyperlink to the file. The page also includes commands for adding files, sorting and filtering files, switching to a different view of the library, and changing the design of the library. You can also subscribe to be notified of changes to the library from this page. When you add or remove a file from a document library, SharePoint Team Services updates all hyperlinks to it in your team Web site. By default, your team Web site comes with a built-in document library named Shared Documents, which is listed on the Quick Launch bar as well as on the Document Libraries page.
You can store any kind of file in a document library. However, there are some advantages to using document libraries in conjunction with SharePoint Team Services-compatible client programs, such as Microsoft Office XP:
When you create a document library, you can specify the information authors must provide when they add a file to the library. For example, if you have a document library of product plans, you can require authors to enter the title, comments about the content, and the document's status (such as preliminary or approved).
By default, document libraries include a Folder view that enables you to work with files in the library similar to how you work with files in the Microsoft Windows Explorer. Using Folder view you can:
Note To use Folder view, you must have a SharePoint Team Services-compatible client program, such as Microsoft Office 2000, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later installed.
