ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pages
A few years back we ran a project where the goal was to have one corporate intranet to avoid having information silos by closing down local solutions as well as making a clear distinction between Team Sites (work in progress and collaboration area for ongoing work with many contributors) and Publishing Pages (ready and quality assured information handled by one responsible editor arranged in a strict navigation hierarchy).
With this announcement the border between Team Sites and Publishing Pages is getting blurry. What's the thoughts from Microsoft and the rest of the community how to tackle information architecture, governance, etc. to avoid creating silos?
To my understanding this is positioned with a lot of freedom for the individual and each Group/Site owner can basically create their own local intranet which also might be restricted to a specific group of users.
So, what's your thoughts?
- Hi Karl,
Not true, nothing is changing the border in that regard, as all current teams sites also have the "site pages" library today. The only thing changing is the WYSIWYG Editor and the displaying (mobile friendly, and stuff) of these pages itself. Teamsites don't just magically become publishing portals. The chosen terminology (publishing pages) might not have been the best, that I agree upon.Maybe this "misunderstanding" can be avoided as soon as you present the roadmap for "real" publishing pages and portals. When can we expect news on this front? 1,5 year ago you guys invested in a lot of energy around Next Gen Portals. It really looked promising! Can we now look forward to a comeback for Next Gen Portals, but based on the Sharepoint Framework?
