Introduction
SharePoint web parts are the building blocks of any modern intranet.
Whether you're adding news feeds, employee directories, or custom
dashboards, web parts make it possible without writing a single line
of code.
In this guide we'll walk through everything you need to know to get
your first web part up and running.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- A Microsoft 365 licence with SharePoint Online
- SharePoint administrator permissions in your tenant
- Access to the SharePoint App Catalog
Step 1 — Download Your Package
After purchasing a web part from the Intranet in a can store,
navigate to My Purchases in your account. Download the .sppkg file
to your local machine.
Step 2 — Upload to the App Catalog
Open your SharePoint Admin Center and navigate to the App Catalog.
If you don't have one set up, you'll need to create it first under
Apps > App Catalog.
Drag and drop the .sppkg file into the Apps for SharePoint library.
SharePoint will ask if you want to make the app available to all
sites — select Yes for tenant-wide deployment.
Step 3 — Add to Your Page
Navigate to any SharePoint page and click Edit. Click the + button
to add a new web part and search for the product name. Click to add
it to your page and configure it using the property pane on the right.
Step 4 — Activate Your Licence
Open the web part settings and enter your licence key. The key is
tied to your Microsoft 365 tenant ID and only needs to be entered once.

you understand the process. With Intranet in a can web parts, you
