1 00:00:03,132 --> 00:00:04,748 Now that we've seen the theory, let's go 2 00:00:04,748 --> 00:00:07,824 to the lab and register a site as a hub 3 00:00:07,824 --> 00:00:11,732 site, as well as join a site to a hub 4 00:00:11,732 --> 00:00:14,465 site. We're now in the lab environment, so 5 00:00:14,465 --> 00:00:17,732 let me go to the admin center here. Let's 6 00:00:17,732 --> 00:00:22,989 go into Active sites, and let's go to The 7 00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:25,465 Hub site. We'll search for The Hub. Let's 8 00:00:25,465 --> 00:00:28,932 click on it. And from here, I have the Hub 9 00:00:28,932 --> 00:00:31,587 option that appears, and I can either 10 00:00:31,587 --> 00:00:34,632 register the site as a hub site or 11 00:00:34,632 --> 00:00:38,418 associate it to a hub. So let's register 12 00:00:38,418 --> 00:00:42,232 it as a hub. So Hub name, we'll let it be 13 00:00:42,232 --> 00:00:46,882 at The Hub. And who can associate? Let's 14 00:00:46,882 --> 00:00:51,132 add Vlad Catrinescu, as well as John 15 00:00:51,132 --> 00:00:54,532 Smith, and we'll click on Save. Actually, 16 00:00:54,532 --> 00:00:57,732 before clicking on Save, I want to show 17 00:00:57,732 --> 00:01:00,989 you the changes that are made, so let me 18 00:01:00,989 --> 00:01:04,232 just open the site so we have a look at it 19 00:01:04,232 --> 00:01:07,232 here right now. So, as you can see, it's a 20 00:01:07,232 --> 00:01:09,332 normal communication site, and there is 21 00:01:09,332 --> 00:01:12,632 nothing between the logo and the title and 22 00:01:12,632 --> 00:01:16,577 the SharePoint blue bar at the top. So let 23 00:01:16,577 --> 00:01:18,799 me go back here. Let's go back to Register 24 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:23,465 as a hub site. I will re-add Vlad, as well 25 00:01:23,465 --> 00:01:26,846 as John Smith, and now I will click on 26 00:01:26,846 --> 00:01:30,465 Save. It will take a few seconds for the 27 00:01:30,465 --> 00:01:32,882 registration to be done. And the first 28 00:01:32,882 --> 00:01:35,465 thing that we will see, and I will refresh 29 00:01:35,465 --> 00:01:38,132 the page, you'll see in global navigation 30 00:01:38,132 --> 00:01:41,950 will have appeared right here above the 31 00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:46,132 logo and the title. And this becomes my 32 00:01:46,132 --> 00:01:49,632 hub navigation. Before we associate a site 33 00:01:49,632 --> 00:01:53,007 to The Hub, let's just change the branding 34 00:01:53,007 --> 00:01:56,132 for this site. So let me go into Settings, 35 00:01:56,132 --> 00:01:59,132 let's go into Change the look, and we're 36 00:01:59,132 --> 00:02:03,132 going to change the theme to be green. 37 00:02:03,132 --> 00:02:05,799 That makes a big difference, so we're 38 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:08,382 going to just stick with this one. This 39 00:02:08,382 --> 00:02:10,632 way we really see how the branding is 40 00:02:10,632 --> 00:02:15,132 inherited when we connect a site to a hub. 41 00:02:15,132 --> 00:02:18,332 Now let me go into another site. So let me 42 00:02:18,332 --> 00:02:21,882 clean this, and we have a site called 43 00:02:21,882 --> 00:02:26,007 Drones at Globomantics. I will just go in 44 00:02:26,007 --> 00:02:29,275 the URL here. I think it's a normal 45 00:02:29,275 --> 00:02:31,846 communication site. Has a bit of its own 46 00:02:31,846 --> 00:02:33,132 branding. As you can see, it's a bit dark 47 00:02:33,132 --> 00:02:38,132 and has the links in a different color. 48 00:02:38,132 --> 00:02:40,132 Now, from the admin center, what I will do 49 00:02:40,132 --> 00:02:43,132 is I will associate the site with a hub, 50 00:02:43,132 --> 00:02:47,332 and let's select The Hub. The Hub will be 51 00:02:47,332 --> 00:02:49,989 the hub that we just created, and we're 52 00:02:49,989 --> 00:02:53,132 going to click on Save. After the site is 53 00:02:53,132 --> 00:02:55,799 joined to The Hub, it will get the same 54 00:02:55,799 --> 00:03:00,132 navigation and branding as The Hub site. 55 00:03:00,132 --> 00:03:03,021 It might not be instant. In this case, as 56 00:03:03,021 --> 00:03:05,632 you see it was instant, don't worry if 57 00:03:05,632 --> 00:03:08,932 it's not instant. It might take up to 30 58 00:03:08,932 --> 00:03:11,257 minutes until it's done, but you're slowly 59 00:03:11,257 --> 00:03:14,418 going to see stuff appearing. Now let me 60 00:03:14,418 --> 00:03:17,561 click on The Hub. This brings me back to 61 00:03:17,561 --> 00:03:21,332 The Hub. Navigation is not managed 62 00:03:21,332 --> 00:03:24,132 automatically. Everything is manual, but 63 00:03:24,132 --> 00:03:27,732 as you can see, it's pretty easy to 64 00:03:27,732 --> 00:03:31,846 associate a site to The Hub, as well as to 65 00:03:31,846 --> 00:03:34,132 register The Hub. Now that as site is 66 00:03:34,132 --> 00:03:37,132 associated, if I want to, I can change The 67 00:03:37,132 --> 00:03:40,314 Hub association. So I can say that this 68 00:03:40,314 --> 00:03:42,882 site might not be associated to a hub 69 00:03:42,882 --> 00:03:44,882 anymore, or let's say I want it associate 70 00:03:44,882 --> 00:03:49,332 it to the CustomSite hub. When I do that, 71 00:03:49,332 --> 00:03:51,418 the content will still be there, nothing 72 00:03:51,418 --> 00:03:53,132 from the content will have changed; 73 00:03:53,132 --> 00:03:56,882 however, the branding and navigation will 74 00:03:56,882 --> 00:03:59,632 slowly change. And I'm not in the right 75 00:03:59,632 --> 00:04:02,132 link there, so that's why nothing changed. 76 00:04:02,132 --> 00:04:04,799 But if we go back toward Drone at 77 00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:08,132 Globomantics, still has the old branding. 78 00:04:08,132 --> 00:04:09,882 Let's go see what the CustomSite looks 79 00:04:09,882 --> 00:04:13,577 like. It still has the old branding. It 80 00:04:13,577 --> 00:04:17,132 might take 30 minutes for it to change; 81 00:04:17,132 --> 00:04:20,132 however, my navigation updated right away. 82 00:04:20,132 --> 00:04:22,901 If I want to deregister a hub, maybe The 83 00:04:22,901 --> 00:04:26,748 Hub will now just be a part of another hub 84 00:04:26,748 --> 00:04:29,632 site or I just don't want it to be a hub 85 00:04:29,632 --> 00:04:31,846 site anymore, I can go into toolbar under 86 00:04:31,846 --> 00:04:35,132 Hub and simply unregistered as a hub site. 87 00:04:35,132 --> 00:04:37,382 It will tell me that all of the sites 88 00:04:37,382 --> 00:04:40,632 associated with it will be disassociated, 89 00:04:40,632 --> 00:04:45,132 which is okay, and it will take a few 90 00:04:45,132 --> 00:04:47,132 seconds or minutes, and it will be done. 91 00:04:47,132 --> 00:04:50,561 It'll be back to regular communication 92 00:04:50,561 --> 00:04:53,704 site without the global navigation at the 93 00:04:53,704 --> 00:04:56,587 top. Now, if we want to do the same thing 94 00:04:56,587 --> 00:05:00,132 via PowerShell, we have the cmdlets here. 95 00:05:00,132 --> 00:05:03,799 So if we want to register The Hub as a hub 96 00:05:03,799 --> 00:05:07,132 site, we can simply Register-SPOHubSite, 97 00:05:07,132 --> 00:05:10,132 give it the site that we want to register 98 00:05:10,132 --> 00:05:13,132 as a hub. We can add permissions as well, 99 00:05:13,132 --> 00:05:16,732 so I may be want to add Ben King. And I 100 00:05:16,732 --> 00:05:19,132 think the username I got it wrong here. 101 00:05:19,132 --> 00:05:22,132 Let me just put ben@ globomantics.org, 102 00:05:22,132 --> 00:05:25,465 give Ben permission to join sites. And 103 00:05:25,465 --> 00:05:28,799 then if I want to connect a site to The 104 00:05:28,799 --> 00:05:31,989 Hub, I simply do the 105 00:05:31,989 --> 00:05:33,418 Add-SPOHubSiteAssociation PowerShell 106 00:05:33,418 --> 00:05:36,465 cmdlet, the site that I want to add, as 107 00:05:36,465 --> 00:05:39,594 well as the URL of The Hub site. This is 108 00:05:39,594 --> 00:05:41,901 it for this demo in which we have a looked 109 00:05:41,901 --> 00:05:45,132 at how to register a site as a hub site, 110 00:05:45,132 --> 00:05:49,577 join other sites to it through the admin 111 00:05:49,577 --> 00:05:52,532 center, as well as through PowerShell. We 112 00:05:52,532 --> 00:05:55,332 have slightly looked at the navigation in 113 00:05:55,332 --> 00:05:57,882 this demo, but now let's go back to the 114 00:05:57,882 --> 00:06:02,000 slides and talk a bit more about The Hub navigation.
