Q: Can I really mess up the team site by doing something I’m not supposed to do but don’t know so?
A: No. Your permission is set to “contribute,” which allows you to view, add, update, and delete content. But even if you delete something, it goes to the Recycle Bin for several days. You should feel free to explore by selecting something that sound good to see what it does and where it goes. Your cursor will let you know what’s selectable and you’ll be informed if you’re not permitted to do something.
