Modern team site - How to create modern ROOT and SUB site
- My 2 cents here:
(1) A modern team site is behind the scenes a site collection so the idea of creating a subsite as a modern team site is not correct. First you create the modern team site and then you can create as many subistes, lists and libraries as you want in the modern team site.
(2) As far as I understand, current rollout (not finished yet) will allow you to create modern team sites from the SharePoint landing page. In the future, I expect we will be able to create also modern team sites from the SPO Admin Center.
(3) Modern Team Sites are being released to First Release, what means we can consider they are still in preview so that's could be the reason why you are not seeing the site in the SPO Admin Center. I'm pretty sure that currently they are still being created as hidden site collections (As happens when you create an Office 365 Group and you provision the Group site)

jcgonzalezmartin, This has been the single most helpful sentence for getting my brain to finally 'click' in regagds to this distinction and behaviour : A modern team site is behind the scenes a site collection so the idea of creating a subsite as a modern team site is not correct.
THANKS
Sadly, it's wrong. A modern team site is a subsite of the root site collection.
Pablo Destefanis not sure where you create your modern team sites but they should all appear under a url like this: https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/teamname
These are site collections not sub sites. Can you post a screenshot of a modern site that was created as a subsite?
- Agreed
- Always glad to help!
jcgonzalezmartin Thanks, this clears things up.
Makes me think about the way we create Intranets these days and if that is still the way to go.
I will open a new topic to share my thoughts on that.
