Going through this at the moment - I feel keeping our site named Microsoft Learning Pathways becomes confusing to the user as Learning Pathways is essentially a service provided by Microsoft and served up in our tenant. So we have decided to rename it and add a little company branding - this then allows us to talk about the our learning site that delivers the Microsoft Learning Pathways service (basically we can make a distinction between our home grown content and Microsoft's).

Hi Garry Rawlins and yes, I hear you. However, if you are creating the MLP site yourself gives you the chance to name it in the way you like, ref. Caruana's reply. Whenever I get the chance to create it with a customer, I make sure they stop long enough to think through how they want to name their e.g. learning portal, as well as first of all defining the purpose of the portal. Defining the purpose might make it easier to name it, and keeping it concrete; if the site is for learning, call it that. 😉 My initial question was mainly what to consider when I just got an already existing site. You get the best from two worlds when working with an MLP site (SPO comm site + learning playlists from Microsoft). What I usually set up is areas/pages related to what people are going to do, e.g. have meetings and then organize the page with company guidelines, guides on "this is how we run meetings in our company" and then adding relevant MLP playlist, such as OneNote, Teams Meetings, Planner and ToDo, for that context.
