Create HUB site
Hello,
I am on SharePoint Online. How i can know if i can create a HUB site ? if this feature is deploy on my tenant ?
I tried the command :
Register-SPOHubSite -Site https://.sharepoint.com/sites/testsite1
The command passed with no errors but i can 't see changes
Other question :
Microsoft show this screen for HUB site. This site template will ba available by default ?

Once you registered for hubsite please associate and join sites to hub by following below
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/features/hub-site/create-hub-site-with-powershell
Then you can build a consistent navigation theme on top which associates all sites to top navigation and similar structure will appear on all associated sites.
You can build a news roll up which rolls up content from all sites on the hub.
Basically you have to leverage all modern webparts and design the hubsite to get below look and feel.

We have a dev/test tenant which is set to "first release" channel and I'm able to create and use hub sites there. In our production tenant, I'm seeing the same behavior as you. I can register a site as a hub site, but when I go to the site itself, there is no global nav at the top, nor is the "Hub site" option in the cog/gear menu. I ran the 'register-spohubsite' command again and got a message that the site is already a hub. I'm assuming that the necessary change was made to the site, but the GUI elements just aren't in our prod tenant yet.
- We do not see the option either. Is this fully released yet?
i am confused as to what can be done on which tenants- To be fair as Juan says hub sites are not yet in production only Targeted Release. Admins need to check over the complete message in the Message Center which typically indicates rollout schedule. In addition Microsoft folk such as Andy Haon for SharePoint flag the percentage rolled out to production on Twitter. This community frequently highlight to each other when features rollout and the Office 365 roadmap provides the long view. These are all resources which are easily accessible. We can only hope that one day we all get our ‘personalised’ Message Center. Until then some detective work is required.

- If you have it on your tenant, then when you navigate to the site you specified and you will see a new Global nav at the top. Then your other site collections in the tenant, if you navigate to them, and select the cog in top right, then site information, you will have a drop down for joining the hub site you specified. I don't think hub sites have started rolling out to GA, so if your tenant isn't on Targeted Release that's an easy way to tell as well. The command will still run, just won't activate till later.
