How do I change the default sharing policy for new SharePoint sites?
Hello,
This is not what I notice on my side.
SharePoint admin center policy is set on anyone with the link yet a new site gets created with the "New and existing guests" external sharing setting as default. (so not the least restrictive).
Anyone else having this behavior?
Where is the default value defined? I would expect in the Admin center under Site Creation or Policies > Sharing but it does not seem to be the case.
Thx,

ben-dlvx Our tenant is doing the same thing. We have "Anyone" links allowed in SharePoint, but new sites are set on the "New and Existing Guests" policy with the option upgrade it to allow "Anyone" links. This behavior is ok for us, but we would rather have the option to control it and not just hope it stays like this. I can't find a button that says anything about setting the default policy for SharePoint. I thought the slider did it, but obviously not.
