As I’m always demoing SharePoint capabilities and content, constantly filling out sample lists and libraries can be pretty tiresome. So, I tasked (the benefit of a business owner is the ability to delegate, so I did… 🙂 the job of creating several stock SharePoint Lists and Libraries with some sample content, so that I (and you) can have these readily available when you need to test, demo or simply pretend you have data.
So, here’s the sample content:
Sample Document Files
- Sample PDF Document (.PDF)
- Sample Word 2003 Document (.DOC)
- Sample Word 2007 Document (.DOCX)
- Sample Word 2010 Document (.DOCX)
- Sample Word 2013 Document (.DOCX)
- Sample Excel 2003 Document (.XLS)
- Sample Excel 2007 Document (.XLSX)
- Sample Excel 2010 Document (.XLSX)
- Sample Excel 2013 Document (.XLSX)
- All Sample Documents (.ZIP)
Sample Populated Lists and Libraries
- Sample Content – Announcements (.STP)
- Sample Content – Calendar (.STP)
- Sample Content – Contacts (.STP)
- Sample Content – Discussion Board (.STP)
- Sample Content – Document Library (.STP)
- Sample Content – Links (.STP)
- Sample Content – Picture Library (.STP)
- Sample Content – Projects (.STP)
- Sample Content – Tasks (.STP)
- All Sample Libraries (.ZIP)
In addition, when you are working with or creating sample content, I always find myself using www.lipsum.com as it is a great (and simple “why didn’t I think of that?) Tool for creating some sample Latin text for your documentation or dashboards – and you can specify how many paragraphs, words or letters, etc. to get exactly the right amount of sample content you need.
Are these files still available? The link seems broken.
Thanks for pointing that out Paul. I made some moves recently and the URL changed a bit. Its fixed now.
Hi Sean, seems like the files are unavailable again – i always get rerouted to the main page 🙁
Hi Patrick. These are fixed (again). That should be the end of the ever moving content for a while now I hope. Apologies for the inconvenience.
awesome! thanks for the fast response!
Hi Sean,
Have the links moved again? It’s been a while I know 🙂
Hi John, the links have been repaired. Thanks.
Hi John,
Took a few days to find the old content but it is back up now and shouldn’t go missing again 😉 Thanks for pointing it out.
