Convert communication to team site sharepoint
- I have also taken part of some conversation about "Groupifying" a communication site, and if you do that, you are doing at some risk since it's not supported ^-^. If you need to "move" your pages from a communication site to a team site:
(1) Try to use the Move To / Copy To options in the site pages library.
(2) As an alternative, use PnP to extract the template of your site and provisiong only pages
(3) Do a POC of copying content from the communication site to the team site using a trial version of a migration tool to see if it work
(4) Develop your own "migration stuff"jcgonzalezmartin, Deleted, is there by any chance any progress on this issue? The thing is that root SP for new tenants is automatically created as Communications Site, and I need a Team site experience in one particular case, with classic menu on the left side.
I have tried to delete the root site and create a new one, but SP administration center then allows me to create sites only in subfolders like “/teams” and similar. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Vladan Aleksić ,
If it's just the left navigation you're after, there is a way to apply this feature to your communication site: Don't know if you already tried this, but maybe it will help:
Go to your site's 'homepage' and click on Settings:
Select 'Change the Look'
At the very bottom, below the Save button, select 'Classic Change the look options'
You can select one of those templates with the left navigation and apply it to your site.
If it's the communication experience you need, maybe consider making a hub and then associate your existing communication site to that hub and also make a team site and associate that to the new hub as well. This way you still get the email account, calendar, OneDrive and all the rest and it all works together with your communication site.
I hope this helps.
Elizabeth
