Pros and cons for renaming of a Microsoft Learning Pathway site
Thanks for your feedback David_Swenson, that's what I do too. 😉
And it is a great tool to gather the different Microsoft guides as well as the customer's own guides. However, a company might need more than just one portal; one - the Microsoft Learning Pathway, for all guides related to collaboration, and then perhaps another SharePoint Online Communication site for guidelines, internal guides for other things, etc. which again can be linked to the Microsoft Learning Pathway? Or, Microsoft Learning Pathway could be used for everything learning related?
And, if so, is it a good idea to change the name of the site, to for example "Company Learning Portal" instead of Microsoft Learning Pathway? Could there be any consequence for the site url/links if the name is changed, are here anyone who have done so?

You should not try to rename the URL for the core site after installation. There is really no need to have multiple sites. Instead build pages around a specific topic that you can pin different places or route people to. The flexibility of the site allows you to meet all those needs. Definitely do not make different portals for training on different topics. That will be a management difficulty later. Also its good to remember you can pin a specific playlist inside a new SharePoint page. Then you can have the customer's content, text and the relevant playlist for that topic all in one place. #BestPractice Merethe Stave
Karuana_Gatimu_MSFT Hi Karuana and thank you for your feedback. I agree very much about the not-changing-url. My question was more related to the name on the page itself; Microsoft Learning Pathway. My customer wants to brand it more aka "Contoso Collaboration Hub" or something similar (the header of the page is already company branded) instead of the Microsoft Learning Pathway. And this is where I can't seem to agree with myself if it should stay "Microsoft 365 Learning pathways" (and make another "Contoso Training hub" and link to the "Microsoft 365 learning pathways" for anything related to collaboration training, best practice, guidelines, etc., or if we can change it to "Contoso Training Hub" and keep everything related to learning (such as project management, security training, etc.) on this site... and what are the pros and cons for either choice?
