Communication Site not a template under "New Subsite" or SharePoint Admin
We also need the ability to create Communication sub-sites. It's what's stopping us from fully adopting them.
Mohammad Housaini what is your example scenario for needing communication sub-sites?
Warwick Ward Hi Warwick. Here is my situation where I would like to use a communication sub-site. We are developing an internal company portal. The HR department has a site, for content relevant to all employees. They also need to develop a set of modern site pages that are relevant to and only viewable by supervisors. This would best be served by a subsite, but they are unhappy with the difference in the look and feel between a communications site and a team site.
Mike-FSA Sub sites are no longer "recommended" by Microsoft. A couple options would be to just permission the pages that are relevant to those supervisors on the same site. Or, turn the HR site into a Hub site and create an associated communication site for your supervisors to read content from HR or content living in the associated site.
Mohammad Housaini Yep this is total BS. The Modern ui is nowhere near ready for production use.
- Bit harsh, all depends on particular use case, for the majority I feel modern is now ready and classic migrations should be of a priority
matt howell The IA recommendations proposed by Microsoft, are to avoid sub sites all together and to use a Flat Architecture for all of your sites.
