Rollup of content across hubs
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to best structure our new Intranet. We're a medium sized company with a number of clients and with many of those clients we have multiple projects. The initia...
Thanks, that definitely seem like a decent workaround. It's invaluable to do proper lessons learned sessions and during those I assume it could be feasible to identify documents and other content that could be useful in a wider context.
We piloted a number of models to see which worked best and what compromises you need to make for each and settled on this one as having the least number of drawbacks although not perfect. Keeping things loosely coupled would also enable us to re-organise the structure later if needed.
From a provisioning perspective you set this all up so that new projects are added to the correct hub site. The challenge will be the limitation on number of hub sites if you have lots of clients, in which case, you may need to use the highlighted content web part and sites web part to just select the associated sites rather than have it automated through Hub association.
We also have a separate hub site for the intranet published content with a communication site for each major function such as HR and Marketing so they manage their own content.

Just found out that the Highlighted webpart is possible to setup so that it rolls up content from all sites within a tenant. I guess this could be utilized to reach content across various hubs and associated sites.
If we just tag docs in a purposeful way then this could be a way to accomplish something very similar to what I asked for in this thread. Will experiemnt a litlle with this and post any findings here.- Thanks again Alan, much appreciated insights, and I Think we'll definitiely try something similar.
However, it would still be interesting to hear if there is any technically feasible way to roll up content from several different hubs (filtered by specific metadata). I see many use cases for this. I cannot see why it shouldn't be possible, I mean apps like Delve do pretty much the same but with a slightly different angle.
