Sharepoint Teams Integration
Hi - I am leading an enterprise shift from Confluence (Atlassian) to Teams with our upgrade to Windows 10. I am curious if I can leverage Sharepoint to ease the phased transition. Is it possible to m...
Depends what you mean. You have 2 options.
Use the SharePoint site and create a seperate document library from the default "Documents" library that you store everything in. And then later move or add that library as a Tab as Adam pointed out.
Or if you plan on having all your files in say the General channel Files tab after the fact you can have a General Folder in the Default Documents library with all your files. Then when you add the Team your files will be there in the general Channel.
I would just create the Team first, don't see why you need to do it after the fact?

Thanks so much for your responses. It sounds like I can create a brand new Sharepoint page with sub-pages and when I link to Teams it will all come together. Correct me if I'm wrong!!
We are currently planning on moving Confluence directly to Teams. However, there are several project in flight that create some pretty complicated dependencies. It would be much easier to get everyone off Confluence and onto a familiar tool (such as Sharepoint) before getting them onto Teams. Then the folks that learn new systems quickly can move straight to Teams, and others can take their time with the transition.
- Assume you mean sub sites, do not use subsites, that is not the current best practice and you should create SharePoint site collections instead of sub sites. If you need them connected you use SharePoint Hub sites to build that hierarchy out.
Teams changes the way people work, I would recommend skipping straight to Teams instead, but if they already know SharePoint I supposed you could use it as a stop gap.
Anyway, stay away from subsites if at all possible.ChrisWebbTech Great advice thanks so much!
- I would rather move to Teams directly! If the file experience is enough from Teams I would! Build you Teams and channels and move data directly to those
