## What it is
The archived main repository of the Microsoft 365 Patterns and Practices (PnP) initiative, containing community-driven samples, solutions, and guidance for SharePoint and Office 365 development, primarily in C# and JavaScript. It targets the legacy add-in model and has been superseded by SharePoint Framework (SPFx) guidance at aka.ms/m365pnp.

## Use cases
- find samples for extending SharePoint with the add-in model
- learn Office 365 development patterns and practices
- migrate legacy SharePoint add-ins to SharePoint Framework
- reference old PnP provisioning and remote extension examples
- explore community C# and JavaScript samples for Office 365

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy SharePoint add-in model solution and need reference code
- you want historical PnP samples or guidance predating SPFx
- you are tracing how older Office 365 extensibility patterns worked

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new SharePoint or Microsoft Teams project - use SharePoint Framework instead
- you need current, supported PnP guidance or samples
- you need actively maintained code or recent releases
