Social features in SharePoint 2019

SharePoint 2019 was built to bring a bigger experience to the platform by integrating features that would expand on the collaboration features of the past. SharePoint is configured differently now than it used to be. Earlier, there were restrictions or, technically put, limitations on how you could integrate products and features.

As we look at where SharePoint was and where it is now, we can notice that all integrations are outside of the product and not included in the product's installation, or can't even be installed on the same server. Again, this helps with performance and keeps applications separated that could get messy when troubleshooting if installed together on servers. The cloud now provides some integrations, as seen in Chapter 10, SharePoint Advanced Reporting and Features, where we can use applications from the outside to manipulate data in our on-premises environment.
