Hi Alan Boulter, Nicolò Manzotti, Jan Willem Lutgendorff, Clay Hagler, Yu Chen, Deleted, and David Leveille,
You all had been asking about when SharePoint hub sites were to release, And we can now share that we're working on hub sites Targeted Release very soon. The message center post went out last week (Mar.9.2018) as a heads up to Office 365 admins.
We’re glad to see you’re excited for the coming SharePoint hub sites. Everything we have to date is in this disclosure blog post (which now links to a webinar we gave around the same time): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint-Blog/SharePoint-hub-sites-new-in-Office-365/ba-p/109547.
Soon we’ll have an updated “launch” blog to announce Targeted Release, new documentation for how to set up and configure them, plus an important webinar to showcase hub sites along with a broader intranet planning and strategy discussion with Sue Hanley, Sam Marshal and myself on Mar.28.2018, “Intranet Strategy & Planning with SharePoint Hub Sites & Office 365”: https://collab365.community/events/intranet-sharepoint-hub-sites-office-365/.
Lots to come, and we’ll soon be very engaged with answering any/all open questions during an AMA on Mar.23.2018 within the SharePoint portion of the MS Tech Community: http://office.com/sharepoint/community. And last a teaser - for beyond "how to" we're working on an all up intranet planning guide that we'll post alongside the help content in support.office.com - this takes the minds of our engineering team, one of our key MVPs and yours truly.
Thanks,
Mark
