Deadlines approaching for SharePoint users to review sites

As Purdue updates the SharePoint collaboration platform to its latest version, users are being asked to review their sites' functionality in the wake of the migration so they can work with the SharePoint Center of Excellence to fix issues. Sites need to be reviewed and fixed before Aug. 31, when the old SharePoint hardware is being retired.
