Communication to Teams Sites

[Moe_Kinani]

Hi Everyone,

I know this has been asked multiple times, forgive me!

Is it possible to change Classic Communication site to Teams Site so I can connect with Office 365 group?  if not possible, what is the best way to handle it?

Thanks for help in advance!

You can't convert between site templates, so your best way forward it to create a new site and then copy the content from the Communication Site to the new Team Site.

If you are using publishing features then you will need to activate the Site Collection features in the Team Site to enable publishing. Do this before you move the content.

You can connect a Classic Site to a brand new Office 365 Group: https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/connect-a-classic-experience-sharepoint-team-site-to-a-new-...

Hi Steve,

Do you recommend copy the content manually, using Flow or any other tools?

Thanks!

Depends on the volume of content. If it is just a small amount, create libraries in the Team site and then use the Copy/Move function (library must be Modern) to move the items.
For bigger content then I tend to use ShareGate or DocAve (depending on what the client has)
