Preparing for SharePoint Hub Sites
- Mar 04, 2019
I would look into content types and the content type hub - which is an entirely different thing from a hub site. They are designed to tie content to metadata columns across a tenant. I'm not a tenant admin, but I assume you can do some configuring so that when new sites are provisioned, the content types and their columns are included in the new sites.
Make sure that one of the columns you is a Committee List. Theoretically, when you update this list from the central hub, the changes get pushed out across the tenant to all the sites.
Now, once you've created your new site that contains the content types and columns, it will be up to your site owners to apply the content type to the list or library where it will be used. I would be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS about editing any of the default content types to include your columns. While possible, the downstream effects can be significant and not always obvious.
