Usage of Content Type Hub
Does anyone use Content Type Hub anymore? I have used it before (on-premise) so I know the pros/cons and now testing it within SharePoint Online. Have tested it both on “classic” and new “modern” Tea...
Yes. We do use the content type hub with SPO. It makes our lives easier. We have our custom columns there which are then in-turn used within custom content types. These get published and all sites could then consume these. Moreover, changing any thing makes it super easy to get it tenant-wide for all consuming sites. And it is fast enough.
Many thanks for feedback.
Could I ask if you also use the hub for distribution of CT with custom document templates? The Reason for asking: It works fine if we upload the template directly to CT but if we use an URL to template this will fail during usage of the distributed CT. I have posted a question about that here.

- Nopes. We don't use doc templates, as we don't generally have a requirement for that. The only time we needed templates was for a particular site in a document set. For that we didn't use the CTHub, as it made sense to keep it localised for that site. Can't say about your URL problem though.
Thanks!
