Welcome to our YouTube video "Why use SharePoint Hub Sites and not SharePoint Sub Sites!".

We will discuss the difference between SharePoint Hub Sites and Subsites. If you have been using SharePoint for a while, you may have used subsites to organize your content. However, in this video, we will explain why SharePoint Hub Sites are a better option for your organization.

First, let's define SharePoint Subsites. Subsites are sites that are created within a SharePoint site collection. They are used to organize content and permissions, and they can be customized with their own navigation, templates, and design. However, subsites can lead to a complex hierarchy that is difficult to navigate, and they can make it challenging to manage permissions and content.

So, when should you create a subsite in SharePoint? The answer is never. While subsites may seem like a good way to organize your content, they create a complicated structure that can be confusing and difficult to manage. Instead, you should use SharePoint Hub Sites.

SharePoint Hub Sites are a new feature introduced in SharePoint Online that allows you to organize and connect your sites and content. Hub Sites provide a central location for navigation, branding, and content rollup. They are designed to make it easy to manage permissions and content across multiple sites.

In this video, we will cover the benefits of SharePoint Hub Sites, including Hub Site Navigation, Hub Site Creation, Hub Site Templates, Hub Site Permissions, Hub Site Design, Hub Site Content, and Hub Site Rollup. You will learn how to create a Hub Site, how to use Hub Site templates, and how to manage permissions and content across your organization.

So, what can you use instead of SharePoint subsites? The answer is SharePoint Hub Sites. With Hub Sites, you can create a more streamlined and organized structure for your content, and make it easier for your team to collaborate and access information.

In conclusion, SharePoint Hub Sites are a better option than subsites for organizing your content in SharePoint. They provide a central location for navigation, branding, and content rollup, making it easier to manage permissions and content across your organization. Join us in this video to learn more about SharePoint Hub Sites and how they can benefit your organization.
