Using custom site content types and columns in Group/teams sites
Thanks for the pointer to the hub. I'd long suspected that it existed but hadn't a clue on how to find it.
Anyhow, I've found it. Now I have to see if I can find a way to migrate my existing content types and columns to the hub.
Any suggestions?
My favorite tool for stuff like this is Sharegate. I highly recommend having it on hand for lots of things you end up doing with SharePoint. My company Sympraxis is a partner of Sharegate's but I recommend it and we became a partner because we use it constantly.
With Sharegate, you can copy the Content Types from the current location into the Content Type Hub. (I just tested it to be absolutely sure.) You'd then change the Content Types on content in in specific locations to use the centralized versions.
Let me know if you need more help...

ShareGate is a good suggestion. We used to use the MetaLogix suite for this kind of stuff, but once we moved from on premises to O365 with a new simplified architecture, we found we didn't need it any more. Also, since we got rid of all on premise servers we didn't have a way to use it or its counterparts.
Anyhow, after checking what I had to migrate, I realized that our needs were really simple and I was able to simply recreate the columns and content types we'd actually need within a groups/teams team site environment. So that's taken care of.
Next, is the ability to customize group/teams site creation which I know is coming.
Thanks for the help so far.
