CLEAN UP Close Sales. Leave SharePoint Designer open if you are continuing to the<br />

next exercise.<br />

Using Site Columns<br />

Once you create a site column, you need to add it to a list or library. You can subsequently<br />

change the site column’s settings and push them to the lists or libraries that<br />

are using the site column. You can make changes to a site column at the list level. Such<br />

changes affect only the list in which the changes are made; that is, the changes made<br />

at the list level are not pushed up from the list to where the site column was created.<br />

Changes to a site column that are pushed to a list override any changes made to the site<br />

column at the list level.<br />

In this exercise you enhance the Company History Wiki Pages library by adding a site<br />

column so that users can categorize their wiki pages by country or region.<br />

SET UP Using SharePoint Designer, open the team site you used in the previous<br />

exercise if it is not already open, and open the Sales list settings page.<br />

1. In the Navigation pane, click Lists and Libraries, and then under Document<br />

Libraries, click Company History.<br />
