MI: 5 of 5 | 5 Gotchas with SharePoint HUB Sites - Modern Intranet 

Fantastic! I appreciate the tip. I'll use it in upcoming vids! Thanks man.

Thanks for watching...there are some new enhancements to HUBs since this video, need to shoot the 2.0 version soon

awesome! thanks for watching

Thank you, thanks for watching I really appreciate the feedback

seems like they are not changing this :-(. To me the footer should be HUB wide .vs site collection wide

Hey man, great hearing from you again!!! Great point...this scenario scares the crap out of me. The last thing anyone wants is to send an email to EVERYONE in the organization. Especially since theses emails have your name as the sender. It's best practice and habit none the less...thanks for clarifying. Hope all is well

thanks Jeff for taking a look

Lol! Thank you for watching. O really do appreciate your feedback! Any thing I can help with the teams piece? I'm still learning new tips and tricks... especially working around "the access to all channels" gap

@@DeShonClark Anytime! Yeah, I've got a few for you. I'll have to jot them down send send them over. Our office needs SharePoint for the infrastructure but everyone wants to fully operate through the Teams interface. Right now we're kind of doing "whack a mole" to keep people from making new groups and duplicating shared files. - It's not completely out of hand but it's still a structural issue. Good news if you haven't heard, 365 is rolling out access control on Team Channels. They said it'll be live in November. 🥳

Wow! Access control at the channel level is much needed. Seems like MS would have copied this feature as well from slack. It will be very interesting to see how they pull this off. Thanks for the heads up

Thank you for the feedback, I really do appreciate it!! Okay, let's see... 1) go with folders or whatever's comfortable for the end user. The last thing you want is to create friction to force them flat when they think in folders. There's nothing wrong with the folder structure and you can still create a view to go flat. Folder structures are also needed to lock things down, in the event a secure folder or set of files comes into the equation... you're set. 2) I've actually never used the distinct view per folder feature in older versions of SP...sounds cool. I've not seen this, so can't relate to the pain of not having it in modern. But if there is a large enough need ,and large enough file set to justify it...just put these sets of files in a separate library within the same site...you could then alter the view as needed per lib. Just surface the library on the left nav to make it easier for users to bounce between the other libraries....this should work out fine

@@DeShonClark Thanks heaps for the comprehensive reply, and agree completely re: point 2. I'll run with that and in the meantime keep pestering Microsoft to see if they fancy making the per location view feature a bit more user friendly!

First thank for watching, the search issue you're highlighting is a gap...I agree with you both searches should yield the same results/ experience. Hopefully MS resolves this soon. Thanks again for the feedback and checking out the vids!

Awesome! Thanks for watching

awesome. thanks for watching

When you're on the files tab in Teams, select the External Storage option to "bring in" the other document library...this can be any library in any SP site....pretty neat feature.

@@DeShonClark does this work for subsides too?... (sorry, I’m being lazy but will check this myself soon!)

the create site link on the main site collection in the HUB , I think, is tied to the owner permissions on that main site collection. If you drop the access down to "Edit" then the link should go away...I need to verify this one

This sorta kinda a little bit make sense...but everything around branding and nav with this hub feature propagates down to the other site collections in the hub...I think this was a miss and would be fixed soon. In the scenario you described I would create a hub for each of these languages/locations, especially if the common info is that distinct.

Hey Tom! Thanks for watching. This actually sounds like a cool approach, though I have not used this strategy in the pass. Are you looking for a way to promote the new Intranet...I am trying to understand the linking piece with an org-wide MS Team team.

hey, first thank you so much for watching. Yes I show how to build the top nav here...check out this section of the 4 of 5 episode of this series : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VHT6H43wyZ8.html

I think you're onto something, there is a new permissioning feature for modern team sites that grant access to the site outside of the team membership. go to the gear icon and click on site permissions you will see this option. Another trick I use is to make the team site public but remove everyone access and then specify name users as visitors.

Very good question! I think you will be able to build a knowledge base on its abstract form...not one to one with what you get I'm classic SharePoint. But with pages and pages properties (metadata) should should be able to stitch something compelling together...at a minimum something that is 1000% to manage from a contribution standpoint. As far as hybrid search, I would recommend digging deeper in Modern SharePoint search on o365. You would want to take advantage of the latest algorithms built-in Microsoft Search....the crawl and indexing process is the same, but the query/search piece is where all of the magic is happening. You will have to dig into Microsoft Search onprem indexing capabilities and go from there.

Very good question...I'll add this to the series...HUB strategy is key, and there are many options.

Thanks man, look forward to hearing your thoughts

thanks for watching

@@DeShonClark Been watching your tutorials for years bro. Great job and keep going at it....

If you don't want the document in the search, you can set the option in the advance properties of the document library

First, thank you for watching. I think this is by design, as the communication site is the best for the entry HUB site. Once the HUB is established, other sites joined to the HUB will just take on the mega menu, header , and footer as the entry site for the HUB.

LOL! Thanks Dallas, I appreciate this

Thank you sir!

This is interesting, and a common ask. Ask you can imagine, there are may ways to got about this. 1) take a look at PowerApps and the Office 365 Users that will get you access to users in office 365 and some of their profile data. 2) Look into SPFx and grabbing this data using the Microsoft Graph API... here are some hints to ideas, you will have to research to get more details...but hope this helps with which directions to look

Good point...but what about Comm sites?

@@DeShonClark Since both Comm sites and the STS#3 template can be created without a Group so both Groups and SharePoint settings needs trimming. We usually manage this through scripting/ provisioning tool

@@KasperBoLarsen got-it

Very good question. I am not sure on the answer to this one. But, this is what I know, Communication sites are not created with Office365 Groups. MS Team Sites are ALWAYS created with O365 Groups. Microsoft is just now adding the capability to add Office365 groups (via the UI ) to both classic Team sites and earlier Modern Team Sites. Finally, you can have a Modern Team site with an Office 365 group and NOT have a MS Team site connected to it...but this is now available in the UI...on the left below the navigation links on the site. I am just not sure how to determine which sites Team Sites, that do not have a MS team associated,

Thanks for watching I really do appreciate it

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

This comes with the hub site, once created

@@DeShonClark Ah -- cool deal. Thanks for fast reply. So can the hub site be a main site that a secretary or someone can post news to? or does it have to be just an aggregation of spoke (?) sites?

@@JohnQ85 either approach would work, since the news can flow top down, bottom up, or even peer to peer..very flexible

@@DeShonClark prob a newb question but I added a site to a Hub site and no idea where it's spuposed to show lol. there a link supposed to auto add or something?
