Are subsites getting deprecated in SPO?
Thank you Trevor Seward for the response! Yeah I was told this by a client today that it was deprecated and that put me on the back foot. Thank you for the confirmation that it is recommended not to use.
- Well, I would say that te recommendation is to go to a "Flat" architecture whenever is possible...deprecated has not been said yet by Microsoft
Is there any evidence that Microsoft are going to ‘actually’ deprecate subsites, or is there an element of reading between the lines here? I can see that hub sites have a roll to play as they offer valuable cross-site publishing which has been problematic in the past, but subsites offer site columns, metadata navigation, and permission inheritance. All the features of subsites have not be made available in other ways if you flatten the structure to use site collections alone.. As an example, if you have a site collection for each and every project in an organisation, there is massive administration overhead compared to each project being a subsite of a ‘programme’ site collection.
