Overview
- CV Intranet is a SharePoint SPFx solution that transforms Microsoft 365 into a fully branded, employee-first digital workplace — bringing company news, departments, people, policies, events, and quick links together in a single modern landing experience. It is designed to replace fragmented communication channels and legacy intranet portals with a unified hub built natively on SharePoint Online.
- This guide walks through the installation tracks required for a complete deployment:
- SharePoint App Deployment — adding the CV Intranet web parts to your tenant and target site.
- Web Part Configuration — placing and configuring the CV Intranet experience on your intranet landing page.
- AppSource Subscription — activating a paid plan so the solution runs without restrictions.
Prerequisites
- Before starting the deployment, confirm the following are in place:
- SharePoint environment: Microsoft 365 tenant with SharePoint Online and App Catalog enabled.
- App Catalog site: A tenant-level or site-collection App Catalog must be created and accessible.
- Admin access: Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator rights are required for tenant-level deployment and for approving API permissions.
- Target site: A modern communication site (recommended) designated as the intranet landing page for your organization.
- Content readiness: Basic assets such as company logo, banner images, department list, and initial announcements prepared for first-run configuration.
- Billing account: A valid payment method on the Microsoft account used to activate the AppSource subscription.
Part 1 — Deploy the CV Intranet SharePoint App
- Follow these steps in order. Each step assumes the previous step completed successfully.
