Adding channels for partners to review content

Hi Tombo17

Private channels would be the way to go dedicated to each partner and only accessible/visible to that partner. Standard channels - you can have a lot more but are accessible to all guests in the Teams so they don't partition content. The downside of private channels currently is a limit of 30 per team and that you can't use all apps in them yet like planner - however if you are only using it for files that will be fine. If you have more than 30 partners then you may have to use multiple teams with private channels. You could always look to have dedicated Teams per partner however if you have a lot of partners that is a large overhead of Teams and could get complex to control and manage. However, the benefits of having multiple teams is that you can have multiple channels if it is a rich engagement and the interaction with the content is spread over multiple topics/areas. With channels, you can't currently have sub channels

So it is weighing up whether standard channels, private channels or Teams is best. You could use all three depending upon your scenario and interactions with your partners.

Teams will certainly cut down on email and sending content over email.

Hope that helps to answer your question

Best, Chris
