Just noticed a limitation of 50 hub sites per tenant. As described here : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/register-spohubsite?view=sharepoint-ps Is this limitation in place during Targeted Release or a permanent limit. I think 50 might be quite low for a corporate so management will be key. Certainly not an on demand feature. Mark-Kashman is this planned to be an in production limit?

Yep I agree 50 is pretty low. But I think for a start Microsoft has begun with that number and will only go up from here in near future. Also each site collection can only join one hub is an other limitation which worries me while planning hub sites for my organization. For ex a site collection need to be part of department hub site and also help hub I need content roll up in both places.

This limit disappoints me greatly. I had envisaged "normal" users being able to leverage Hub functionality. My own team is a "line of service" team and as such we have over 20 different SharePoint sites, and a Hub would have been the perfect solution, but in my organisation of 150,000 people, being allocated a hub from such a small pool is never going to happen :(

Hmm... I'm not sure they've mis-sold hubs, it might just be coloured by the different business needs you and I are working with. My understanding is that hubs are intended as a way of structuring organisational units as part of, for example an intranet concept.One customer solution I'm working with is for the global HR community.Hub 1: Group HRAssociated teamsites to hub 1: Strategy, Talent, Internal Communication, Compensation & Benefits (these are all organisational units)Hub 2: Local Country HRAssociated teamsites to hub 2: (local country HR units) SE, NO, FI, ES, DE, UK, FR etc. (again, all organisational units).The same concept can then be applied to Group & local IT, Finance, Sales etc.The hub sites can then be manually linked as part of an intranet.What scenario are you trying to apply hubs to?

Is this only "Registered" Hub sites? Meaning, if a Hub is unregistered, does that free up a spot? While I agree, 50 does seem low, at this point, we do not have a need for more than a few dozen, and that is over estimating. I may be wrong though.

Hi Jesse, All hub sites are registered. Each hub site is a team or communication site. The Register PowetShell command enables that site to become a hub site. Other sites then associate to that hub site. ‘Unregistered’ hub sites simply revert to being a team or communication site. There is.no unregistered hub site.

A maximum of 100 hub sites may be created per tenant, with 'unlimited' number of site collections associated to a hub site.

    Hi Mark, AFAIK this won’t be a permanent limitation. Looping in Mark-Kashman for his insights into this issue.
