# [Access and Follow Your SharePoint Sites](https://app.tango.us/app/workflow/fb890860-7686-443b-8569-cedcf83c3e3e?utm_source=magicCopy&utm_medium=magicCopy&utm_campaign=workflow%20export%20links)

So you've been added to a SharePoint Site but can't find it! Here's an easy way to "follow" the site so it will show up on your SharePoint Start page and My Sites. Teams and SharePoint are fully integrated. All SharePoint Sites created by IT Services have an associated Team. Adding Members to a SharePoint Site also adds them to your team in Teams. For more about this, visit our help article: [SharePoint's Relationship with Teams](https://help.nnu.edu/space/TMR/30310416/SharePoint's+Relationship+with+Teams)
