Microsoft recently announced SharePoint 2019 with lots of new features and capabilities, which are backed by Azure and Artificial Intelligence.
With the release of SharePoint 2019, the new platform provides features from the SharePoint Online world to on-premises users. SharePoint 2019 supports powerful, integrated hybrid scenarios out-of-the-box, and delivers user interface improvements: modern team sites, communication sites, list and libraries, pages, and news.
the SharePoint Framework eliminates major differences between sites on-premises and in Office 365.
The new SharePoint migration tool supports automated migration using PowerShell.
Any device: SharePoint 2019 helps ensure that you have access to the information regardless of the screen by which you access.
Navigation: The SharePoint 2019 navigation model aligns with Office 365.
New sites: Compelling communication and collaboration experiences for both cloud and on-premises.
– Communication Sites, Team News and modern Team Sites to include lists and libraries with broader data mobility. Use the Next Generation Sync Client support for reliable access to documents anywhere, anytime.
Business process improvements: With InfoPath for customising forms, Microsoft added PowerApps and Flow in the cloud. In SharePoint 2019, Microsoft has further improved support for building business processes with PowerApps and Flow.
SharePoint Home: A user can visit SharePoint Home and find all relevant sites or news in one place. Users in SharePoint 2019 will also be able to utilise this feature.
Prepare for cloud: SharePoint 2019, provides for improved hybrid scenarios and support.
Developers: Microsoft rolled out the SharePoint Framework capabilities from SharePoint 2016 via updates. In SharePoint 2019, expect to have SharePoint Framework web parts and extensions available to enable developers to build solutions aligned with a cloud model. This is the recommended path- especially if you are planning to take the road to the cloud soon.
Availability: SharePoint 2019 will be generally available in the second half of 2018. The new Office 2019 contains the well-known Office apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint as well as the Office server products such as Exchange, SharePoint and Skype for Business. Previews of the new products will start shipping mid-year 2018, the final release will be late 2018.
The SharePoint Server 2019 on-premises version is built on the foundational release of SharePoint Server 2016. The goal is to bring you closer to the cloud and the cloud closer to you.
What you can expect from SharePoint Server 2019 on-premises:
• NextGen OneDrive Sync Client, no support for SharePoint 2016
• PowerApps integration
• Team News and Communication sites, but no Hub Sites
• Modern UI
• InfoPath is still supported
