Ever opened a SharePoint library so messy you didn’t know where to start? The kind full of “final_final_really_final.docx” chaos, folders from 2016, and documents with no owner in sight?

In this episode, we stage a SharePoint intervention. I’ll walk you through how I took one out-of-control document library and transformed it into a clean, structured container that actually works — using nothing but out-of-the-box SharePoint features.

You’ll learn the exact steps I take to:

• Identify the mess behind “version seven really final” chaos
• Apply metadata that instantly brings structure and findability
• Use content types to separate working documents from published ones
• Clean up without breaking links, losing history, or starting over

This story builds on last week’s Policy & Procedure Hub design — but this time, we’re taking it to the ground level: a single library, one team, one intervention.

And at the end, I’ll share a practical next step if you’re ready to make your own content Copilot-ready — my 60-minute mini course, Fix the Mess™ – Preparing Your SharePoint for Copilot.

Because the fix isn’t more AI. It’s better organisation.
