Provision O365 Groups with custom SharePoint site template possible?
Hi Alan,
Do you have any more information on this? I'm looking to hook into the automatic group site creation process to apply a custom template, whether the group site is created via SharePoint, or from O365 / Outlook. Sounds like you've poc'd this, and I'd love to learn more about how you did it.
Thanks!
If you are in Targetted release you can now use the new Site Design scripts, and customise the default templates as per :-

Thanks Stephen. That's exactly what I was looking for, with one exception. While this is possible when creating team sites from SharePoint, is there any way to apply this to sites that are automatically created when creating a new group elsewhere, such as Outlook? SharePoint automatically creates a new team site for this group, but doesn't provide the option to chose a template, so I'm wondering if I can tap into a webhook, or how I would be able to apply this to that scenario. Any info is appreciated!
Thanks.
The documentation says you can update the default design for team site template, I havent tested it but it would certainly seem reasonable that it should apply if that was created from other workloads.
I tried it, it works, and I wrote a blog ...
