You would either create one big\u202fsite collection\u202fand create lots of\u202fsubsites\u202fin it, or you would have lots and lots of site collections in your tenant. Of course, you could have both models run in parallel. Provision lots of department sites each in its own site collection and lots of subsites in each department\u2019s site collection. Multiple Site collections always made sense for large organizations. With the arrival of SharePoint Online and Office 365, we had many small businesses embrace SharePoint now and most small, and even medium-size businesses could get away with\u202fjust 1 or 2 site collections. What made a single site collection really attractive to many is that you could easily build\u202fcommon navigation\u202fbetween all the subsites. On top of that, you could also create\u202fsite templates\u202fand reuse them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things started to swing in favor of flat architecture with the rollout of\u202fOffice 365 Groups\u202fand\u202fCommunication Sites. Every time you create an Office 365 Group or a Communication site \u2013 a new site collection is provisioned.  So whether you want it or not, now you are almost forced into a flat architecture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHAT\nARE HUB SITES?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now, with all these\u202fOffice 365 Groups\u202fand\u202fCommunication Sites\u202fand old legacy site collections, the challenge is how do we bring them all together via common navigation? I documented several ways to create common navigation for sites\u202fpreviously, but all of the tricks are\u202flocal\u202fto the site collection.\u202f Meaning, if you create navigation in one site collection, you can only propagate it to subsites underneath, not\u202fto other site collections..\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where Hub Sites come in. Hub Sites are a way to tie together all the autonomous site collections under\u202fone navigation umbrella. There are other characteristics that are shared within a Hub , but primarily \u2013 they are for navigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW\nTO CREATE HUB SITES<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now that we are\nclear what the Hub Sites are, let me show you how to create them!
