How to clean up a SharePoint intranet that’s become a bit of a beast

Intranets are very good at growing. Before long, your intranet is technically still working, but no one’s quite sure what’s current and useful, what should be archived, and who owns half of it.

When it gets too hard, the tempting answer is often to just rebuild it.

But the data usually tells a more useful story.

In this SWOOP Analytics masterclass, we’ll look at how to understand what’s really happening inside an overgrown SharePoint intranet and where to start cleaning it up.

We’ll use our latest benchmarking data to show how you can spot clutter, check content health, understand ownership and make better decisions about what to fix first.

What we’ll talk about

• Why intranets keep growing, even when no one planned for them to
• What clutter does to trust, search and findability
• Why Content pages carry most of the value, but need proper care
• How to use SWOOP Analytics to see what’s healthy, what’s stale and what needs attention
• How Dr SWOOP can help point you towards the pages worth fixing first
• How to support editors and content owners without turning governance into a joyless rulebook

Who it’s for

This session is for internal communications, intranet, digital workplace and Microsoft 365 teams who are trying to keep their SharePoint intranet useful, trusted and manageable.

Especially if your intranet has grown faster than your governance model.

You’ll leave with

A clearer way to think about intranet clean-up, a better understanding of the data that shows where the real problems are, and practical ideas for managing growth without starting again from scratch.
