How to create a SharePoint Hub Site

In this SharePoint training video, we will introduce you to the concept of SharePoint hub sites and show you how they can benefit your organization.

We'll explain the difference between a hub site and a regular SharePoint site, and discuss how hub sites can help you organize and share content across multiple sites.

In this SharePoint Tutorial I will explain exactly how to create a SharePoint Hub site.

This starts with creating a SharePoint communication site. I will then show you how to register as a Hub site.

We'll also explore some of the key features and capabilities of SharePoint hub sites, and provide tips and best practices for using them effectively.

I will also discuss what a SharePoint Hub site can do. Including sharing your company colours and brand throughout your intranet.

It can share permissions to sites that are associated to it. So, you no longer need SharePoint subsites in Modern SharePoint Online.

You can also build a shared mega menu that is populated on the Hub Site and will appear on all of the child sites that are associated to the SharePoint Hub Site.

We can also roll up content such as news roll ups from associated SharePoint sites onto the SharePoint Hub Site.

Events web part can also roll up from associated SharePoint sites.

By the end of the video, you'll have a solid understanding of what SharePoint hub sites are and how they can help you improve collaboration and productivity within your organization.

So whether you're new to SharePoint or a seasoned user, join us for this informative and engaging tutorial and learn how to create a SharePoint hub site today!

Hey Dougie - Your videos are very helpful. What is the different between App Bar and Hub Site with regards to Global Navigation? Which one should I use for my Intranet and is one replacing the other? Thanks.

Hey Dougie. Great video. Is it possible for a site that is associated to a Hub Site to only inherit permissions, not the colors (Theme)?

[ForGoodAdvisory]

Hey Doubie, question for you: if I need to create a SharePoint site that shares document libraries from multiple sites, would you recommend a Hub Site, or a Team Site with web parts embedding those document libraries?

[LouG]

are these news articles viewable by all or only by those in the child site?

[frankradewagen]

Hi Dougie, thanks for the great video👍Upon creating a teamsite as a hub, would it be possible to roll-up list contents, tasks and documents, residing in associated sites and folders? Would be really helpful for setting up a PMO.

Hi @Dougie_Wood - Quick question, how can I archive news stories on SharePoint as I rotate them off the front page? Please advise. Thanks!😊

[SwapnilBhole]

Hi Dougie, I am not sharepoint administrator, in this case how I can create hub site?

[wesh]

Can you add sites to the hub if they predate the hub?

That is NOT a calendar. Users want to see a normal calendar displaying the entire month and not upcoming events
