Microsoft’s hosted SharePoint is typically bundled in Microsoft 365 subscriptions, but can be licensed separately.^[15] SharePoint Online has the advantage of not needing to maintain one’s own servers, but as a result lacks the customization options of a self-hosted installation of SharePoint.

It is limited to a core set of collaboration, file hosting, and document and content management scenarios, and is updated on a frequent basis, but is typically comparable with SharePoint Enterprise.^[16][17] Currently, additional capabilities include:

• Support for SharePoint Framework extensions
• New “Modern” (Responsive) SharePoint UX (partially included in 2016 – Feature Pack 1)
• Yammer Integration and Office 365 Groups
• Integration with Outlook Web App
• Newer versions of Online Office Document Editor Tools
• Removal of various file size/number limitations
• Apps Concept
