Changing a Private Sharepoint Online site to a Public one
Hey all, anyone have and advice on what is the PROPER way to take a Sharepoint Online site that was created from a MS Teams team and opening it to a Public (RO) site? We found multiple ways, but just...
Jleebiker SharePoint Online does not support public websites. Everyone has to either be a member of your organization or be explicitly invited to the site.
jcgonzalezmartinPublic=viewable by anyone. Does not have to be inside our org. Does not require login. If we used Conversations on the SPO site though, would want people to login before they could make a comment.

- Well this isn’t entirely true 😏. Depending on full use case, You can technically use a page and share it with an anonymous link for anyone to access outside the org but this will restrict you to making sure all the content and links on that page go to anonymous shared links or photos etc to prevent ahh prompts.
I use this in my org tenant currently for a pre hire information page where they can go to get forms etc. needed to be hired on and they don’t yet have an account to our systems so HR points them to this page. All links point to individually shared documents using anon links on the org site itself along with contact info web parts and HR rep photos. Works quiet well.- Very intresting! Thank you for sharing!
- Come on, anonymous access to SPO sites is not supported...that's what we mean....of course you can do some hacks to give anonymous access to specific elements (Folders, documents, pages) on SPO sites, but not to the full site.
- Well. True. And I don’t expect it to be an official answer but it is technically possible and gave a use case for it. It might not work in that use case but its a visible solution to a need :).
