The interface for our Office 365 recently changed and we can no longer find how to create new site collections. Is there specific documentation that could inform us on how to do that or could someone offer some insight on how we can still create site collections?

It is pretty easy you can go directly to Https://"tennanname"-admin.sharepoint.com or follow this video:

Paul thank you for your reply and the helpful video! For some reason our O365 portal does not contain the "Admin Center" icon. Is that a feature that needs to be activated by administrators?

Hi Teressa,
the only thing i could think of is that you are not a SharePoint admin. Could this be possible?
Kr,

The SharePoint admin center is available via this URL - you could try that directly/bookmark it.

I tried the link Kevin provided and recieved a message that I don't have permission. I am an admin on my own previously created site collections, but with the new interface, will need the admin center in order to create any new ones. I will talk with our systems people and see if they can activate the admin center part for us end-users.

You have to be a SharePoint Admin or O365 Global Admin to access that page

Even though I am a SharePoint Admin for several site collections, When I log into Office 365, (Enterprise), I do not have the Admin Center tile available via the app launcher. Do you know if it Is only supposed to be available to O365 Global Admins?
Interestingly, I have discovered a long user-unfriendly URL path to https://<tenantname>/.../.../.../mngsubwebs.aspx page which allows me to create new subsites. The Admin Center would make it so much easier!

You have to either be an O365 Global Admin or a O365 SharePoint Admin (not Site Collection Admin) in order to be able to get to the SP Admin panel.

Hi @Teresa Roberts - As a site collection admin you have full control over every aspect of your site collections except...
For these settings you would make a request to an O365 Global admin or O365 SharePoint Service Admin in your tenant.
As for creating subsites on an existing site collection, you can do this from the Site Contents page on the site under which you would like to create a subsite.
Happy Friday - Greg
