Common Web Parts And Sub Parts For SharePoint 2013, 2016 And SharePoint Online

Today, I am writing about the Web parts available on SharePoint and SharePoint On-Premises. As we know, the Web part is a very important part of SharePoint to add some specific information and the details on the page or the list & any other links.

As per MSDN: By using web parts, we can modify the content, appearance, and behavior of pages of a SharePoint site by using a browser. Web parts are server-side controls that run inside a web part page: they're the building blocks of pages that appear on a SharePoint site.

The list of the common Web Part categories is given below for SharePoint 2013, 2016 and SharePoint Online.
