00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,570
[Autogenerated] hi. In this lesson, we're

2
00:00:05,570 --> 00:00:08,450
going to talk about hub sites. But before

3
00:00:08,450 --> 00:00:10,000
we answer the question, what is a hub

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,220
site? Let's take a look at all of our

5
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:17,690
SharePoint sites. We have three main types

6
00:00:17,690 --> 00:00:20,240
of SharePoint sites the team site, the

7
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,860
communication site and, of course, the hub

8
00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:27,440
site. Team sites air for collaboration.

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,930
Typically, team sites are created around

10
00:00:29,930 --> 00:00:32,990
organizational units, such as a team site

11
00:00:32,990 --> 00:00:36,720
for the HR team, perhaps I t or sales

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,430
marketing. Whatever IT ISS team sites are

13
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:43,080
also commonly used for a team of people to

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,540
collaborate together on a project.

15
00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:49,140
Communication sites, arm or visual

16
00:00:49,140 --> 00:00:51,880
communication sites are designed to focus

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,050
on a particular topic or highlight a

18
00:00:55,050 --> 00:00:58,260
specific item. For example, a showcase

19
00:00:58,260 --> 00:01:02,470
site for a new product. Hub sites connect

20
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:06,440
related sites together through navigation.

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,900
HAB sites connect sites using the exact

22
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:12,830
navigation features so that it's easier to

23
00:01:12,830 --> 00:01:16,240
get to different sites. Now. Why do UI

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,440
want this? Why is this a good thing for a

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,770
long time? In SharePoint, it was very

26
00:01:21,770 --> 00:01:25,470
popular that if you wanted to have a site

27
00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:28,570
related to another site, you would create

28
00:01:28,570 --> 00:01:32,490
a sub site. For example, maybe we have the

29
00:01:32,490 --> 00:01:36,090
HR team site, and they wanted to create a

30
00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:39,860
sub site for Ah specific project that

31
00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:42,840
certain members of the HR team are doing.

32
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,700
Of course, you could have multiple sub

33
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:49,160
sites, and, of course, each sub site could

34
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,610
have sub sites as well. Now you can

35
00:01:52,610 --> 00:01:54,820
imagine is people begin to create more and

36
00:01:54,820 --> 00:01:57,770
more sub sites. The site collections start

37
00:01:57,770 --> 00:02:00,590
to get a little bit overwhelmed and a

38
00:02:00,590 --> 00:02:04,450
little unorganized. The purpose of the hub

39
00:02:04,450 --> 00:02:07,840
site is, rather than creating sub sites,

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,040
you simply go ahead and create a new site

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,520
and you associate it to, ah, hub site, for

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,130
example, you could have the HR hub, and

43
00:02:18,130 --> 00:02:20,800
then you could have multiple sites that

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,200
are associate ID to that hub. That way,

45
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,780
when people go to the hub site, it's very

46
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:31,860
easy to find the other related sites. It's

47
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:34,430
not so easy. If you have a sub site that's

48
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:38,440
a sub site off a sub site, you have to be

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,510
really, really specific about your

50
00:02:41,510 --> 00:02:45,140
navigation. Let's go ahead and let's take

51
00:02:45,140 --> 00:02:48,980
a look at a real live hab site and an

52
00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:52,180
associate ID site. All right, we're here

53
00:02:52,180 --> 00:02:55,240
in office. 3 65. Let's go to SharePoint,

54
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,180
and the site we're looking for is this one

55
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:00,550
Olivari skills portal. Now you'll see

56
00:03:00,550 --> 00:03:02,460
there's nothing here that indicates it's a

57
00:03:02,460 --> 00:03:06,320
hub site, and if I click on it at first

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,180
glance, it looks like a normal team site.

59
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:10,440
There doesn't seem to be anything

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,130
different. It's not named any differently,

61
00:03:14,130 --> 00:03:16,660
although it is a good idea to come up with

62
00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:19,600
a naming convention that will indicate

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,610
that it is a hub site. Perhaps call this a

64
00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:25,540
LeVar a skills hub toe, let people know.

65
00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:27,950
But the thing that will always tip you off

66
00:03:27,950 --> 00:03:32,320
that it is, ah, hub site is the navigation

67
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,860
bar up at the top. We have the link to

68
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:38,710
this site, but we also have a link to an

69
00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:41,640
associate ID site, technology tips and

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040
tricks. And if we click there, it takes us

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720
to that site. Now, if we go ahead and we

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,700
look at the site information we see, the

73
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:55,040
Hub Site Association is to that L a very

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,600
skills portal. Other than that, it's just

75
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,120
a normal, ordinary team site. It's just

76
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,530
associate ID with the L. A Bari skills

77
00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:13,810
portal hub. So that is the purpose off our

78
00:04:13,810 --> 00:04:17,190
hub sites. Instead of creating a site that

79
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:20,610
has many, many layers and layers of sub

80
00:04:20,610 --> 00:04:24,250
sites on sub sites on sub sites, UI create

81
00:04:24,250 --> 00:04:27,380
one hub site. Create all the individual

82
00:04:27,380 --> 00:04:31,140
sites that we want and connect them to the

83
00:04:31,140 --> 00:04:34,040
hub UI. Associate those sites to the hub

84
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,840
and then add the navigation here so that

85
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:39,720
it's easy to get to all of the associated

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,660
sites from the hub like we saw in our

87
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:46,110
slide. Our hub site and all of our

88
00:04:46,110 --> 00:04:49,420
associated sites radiate out like spokes

89
00:04:49,420 --> 00:04:53,000
on a wheel. So now you know what a hub

90
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:04,000
site is. That's it for this lesson. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time.
