Using this hubsite model it doesn't seem possible to share any data between sties. For instance, I I have list of say offices addresses and I want to use these a a lookup to stop peopel adding "variations" in different libraries it would seem that I need to copy the list library to every group site (site collection) and then keep it up dated. I'd hoped that I could add it to the hubsite and just reference it from the other sites.
Sounds like I would need to go back to hierarchical sites - but at the same tiem it seems as though your modern world is moving away from this. Where to go?
Tthis seems to be a general problem with the group/teamsite model - no easy way to access other data that is in your tenant so there is a danger of huge amounts of duplication.
I remember reading an early article that one of the benefits of modern was the intelligent way it would identify documents you had already used and make links in other libraries rather than duplicates of the documents. But this doesn't seem to be the case once you use groups/teams and these become site collections - or have I missed something?
