Connecting Existing Modern Site to Office 365 Group
Hi all - first conversation on the community so please forgive me. I've tried looking into a number of different threads, and I keep coming up short. Here is my situation:
I have a SharePoint Online site for our Clients (https://XXX.sharepoint.com/sites/Clients) with sub-sites for each client, in the format: https://XXX.sharepoint.com/sites/Clients/[CLIENT-NUMBER]-[CLIENT-ACRONYM]. So, for example, we have about a dozen sub-sites, such as:
I would like to create a Team in Teams for each of the sub-sites under Clients. I tried that, and realized that I think I have to create an O 365 Group for each of the sub-sites before I can create the Team. I can't figure out how to create an O 365 Group for these existing (modern) sub-sites. (Side-note: I've found a lot of resources for creating an O 365 Group for an existing classic site, but these are already modern sites.)
Any advice for me?
And, more importantly, what's best-practice? We only have a dozen client sub-sites right now, so I want to get a best practice in place before we have 100.
- Hi!
The simple answer is that modern sharepoint works in a flat structure! An office 365 group provisions a Team site in SP and that site can be teamified! Sub sites can’t. You simply need to create new groups/team sites or teams directly - all of them ending up creating an Office 365 groupadam deltinger Thanks! I was kind-of thinking that might be the answer.
With that in mind, can tell me of resource to understand how to wholesale move my sub-sites to the newly-created "top level" sites. (Each of the 12 client sub-sites have customized document libraries, homepage layouts with web parts, etc., which will be so time-consuming to re-create.) I tried searching for a resource on this site and can't find it. I assume moving a site and all of its contents has gotta be a pretty regular activity, but I can't find a clear-cut guide out there..
