Updates To Channel Site Layouts

The SharePoint page layout for the site that ‘sits behind’ your team in Teams is being revamped. Also changing is how the site theme and navigation is inherited when the Teams-connected sites are added to a hub site.

Two updates are coming for the SharePoint sites that get created for every team and private channel in Microsoft Teams. The first update is to simplify the layout for all private channel sites to make them more useful and easier to navigate between the parent site and the associated team. The second update is to adjust the way site theme and navigation is inherited when the Teams-connected sites are added to a hub site.

The first update improves the layout for channel (private and shared) sites. The new page layout features the News, Documents, Quick links, and Activity web parts. The Quick links webpart displays links to additional guidance for popular tasks that can improve the value of your site.

The second update improves the relationship between Teams-connected sites and hub sites. This update streamlines the process of associating Teams-connected sites with hub sites.

With this update:

Hub site associations get managed at the parent site level for the entire team
When a Teams-connected site is associated with a hub, the parent site and all channel sites will inherit the hub’s theme and navigation
Any private channel sites that are currently associated to a hub will have this connection removed

These changes are due to be implemented beginning early May 2022
