Sub sites under a Hub site, automatically associated?
Thanks for the reply Dean_Gross jcgonzalezmartin
Oddly some of the functionality does seem to work, I've taken a screenshot of the hub site which has 3 subsites (A Subsite, B Subsite, Subsite Template). The page has a "Sites" web part which is using the option "Show all sites in hub" and there is a "News" web part, again the option on this is set to "All sites in the hub".
As you can see the information is being rolled up from the sub sites to the web parts.
The parent navigation is also present on the sub sites.
Interesting eh?

Maybe the MS push to stop promoting the use of sub sites has meant this "hidden" functionality has fallen through the cracks. Personally I think there is still a good argument for sub sites in some designs of SharePoint, easy site creation from templates being one. Assuming MS don't turn off this behaviour that I've discovered it could offer some nice features that my customers would like.

One of the big issues with Subsites is that they cannot be connected to an Office 365 group so you can easily end up with some weird security issues. This risk is mitigated if you keep everything set to inheritable perms

That can also be seen as an advantage :)
