SharePoint Hub Sites due in February for Targeted Release?
- Nearing the home stretch for hub sites into Targeted Release. We'll have an announcement blog to inform when we start rollout, plus a webinar, AMA and a fast follow 'planning guide' beyond the main help articles that will publish in parallel with the start of rollout. Hang tight, the team is working thru the last mile of this significant feature. :-) Cheers, Mark.
I have a question on Hub Sites, perhaps you can help with although I suspect I already know the answer.
Can I share libraries across sites joined to a Hub?
In my scenario, I have four teams each with their own team sites. I join them to a Hub. I have a single document library called "Policies" that I want to all four teams to have access to.
I do not want to create separate libraries on each site. I do not want the users to leave their Team site to access the 'Policies' library.
I expect that while the Hub sites may be useful for newsfeeds, there is a failure to address sharing of documents across teams.
- Hi John. Thank you for the fast reply.
Apologies for the poor choice of wording, as you point out it is not the intended role. It would definitely be a game changer for our application of SharePoint if it was possible to leverage Hub site in this manner.
Regards,You can easily accomplish that goal by using the Content Search web part. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/when-to-use-the-content-query-web-part-or-the-content-search-web-part-in-sharepoint-346a0f48-38de-409b-8a58-3bdca1768929
Thank you for your suggestion.
Unfortunately it is not a very elegant solution and has some major limitations. I require a regular document library experience so that the user experience is seamless between libraries, regardless of their physical location. However I do not mean to hijack this thread with alternatives. I was simply hoping the Hub sites would offer shared libraries.
Thanks,
