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.
Hi Craig,
I notice your reply is to Mark-Kashman who can give you the authoritative reply and as you remark you do answer your own question in respect of the initial function of hub sites in modern SharePoint. I don’t feel there is a failure as the document library functionality is not the intended role of a hub site.
I wonder if Chris McNulty might comment on whether there is a modern or classic method rolled out or planned to meet your use case.

Hi John. Thank you for the fast reply.
Apologies for the poor choice of wording, as you point out it is not the intended role. It would definitely be a game changer for our application of SharePoint if it was possible to leverage Hub site in this manner.

You can easily accomplish that goal by using the Content Search web part. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/when-to-use-the-content-query-web-part-or-the-content-search-web-part-in-sharepoint-346a0f48-38de-409b-8a58-3bdca1768929
Thank you for your suggestion.
Unfortunately it is not a very elegant solution and has some major limitations. I require a regular document library experience so that the user experience is seamless between libraries, regardless of their physical location. However I do not mean to hijack this thread with alternatives. I was simply hoping the Hub sites would offer shared libraries.
Thanks,
