SharePoint Hub Sites due in February for Targeted Release?
I was just thinking about Hub Sites and how to prepare for them and then I checked the Office 365 Roadmap and notice they are estimated for this month! Very happy but Mark-Kashman is Targeted Release...
- Nearing the home stretch for hub sites into Targeted Release. We'll have an announcement blog to inform when we start rollout, plus a webinar, AMA and a fast follow 'planning guide' beyond the main help articles that will publish in parallel with the start of rollout. Hang tight, the team is working thru the last mile of this significant feature. :-) Cheers, Mark.

Mark,
How it will effect the existing o365 online intranet?
- It is solely choice, nothing will happen to your existing site if you take no action. Once SharePoint hub sites begin Targeted Release (within next 1-2 weeks we'll begin), your admin(s) will then have a choice to create a new modern team site (group-connected) or a communication site and then convert it into a hub site using PowerShell. Or, you can do this on existing modern team sites or a communication sites. And you can create multiple hub sites following the above patterns.
- Mark-Kashman just to confirm will all Hub Sites need to be created through PowerShell?
Yes as of now POWERSHELL is only way.

Savita Mittal from the demos I have seen, it will not have any impact on existing sites. They are providing the ability to create a new site collection that can be designated as a Hub and then you will be able to connect existing sites the new Hub, but this is totally optional. You may to replace some of the existing functionality in your intranet, but that will be up to you.
Thanks Dean.
Do you know when will it roll out. Its almost end of February.
in the meeting yesterday they said it would be a few more weeks, sometime in march.
