Training
Overview
The Training Web Part with Categories is an enhanced, custom-built solution designed to transform how training content is managed and consumed within SharePoint. Previously, the web part functioned as a simple document viewer, where training materials were uploaded to a document library and displayed as a flat list. While functional, it lacked structure, flexibility, and an engaging user experience. With this upgrade, the web part evolves into a well-structured and interactive training hub.
