Sharepoint vs Teams
Hi, In my organisation we have just started using the 365 tools. Many of my colleagues have already created Teams for different purposes. We would like to also have a SharePoint communication site -...
Well first things first you cannot associate a communication site to a Team so you can’t lose those links because it’s not possible to change the site to begin with :).
That said. You can use your team connected sites as private sites and make them just like comm sites minus the obvious top nav template.
What I do at my org is use Teams and the connected sites as everyone’s Private department sites. And use communication sites as org facing sites that everyone has access to and connect them all to a hub to roll up content and news for the whole org. We also create communication sites for project communication sites for metrics goals etc. for the org to see but teams and the private sites connected for the actual project.
You can also always link files from the comm sites as tabs to the related teams for fast links over to those sites for people to work with and add content to those as well.

Thanks for the replies - I am happy to hear that it is possible. But how do I do it? Is there a tutorial somewhere that you could recommend? I am using Linkedin Learning for training in the 365 tools.
