课程: SharePoint Admin Essential Training

Creating and deleting SharePoint sites

- [Speaker] The single most important task you're going to have as a SharePoint administrator is creating your organization's SharePoint sites. There is one little catch. You're going to need to set up some type of internal system for people to request new sites, change site admins, or delete obsolete sites. I suggest having a discussion with your Microsoft 365 admin, your IT department, and your management to decide on the best approach for your organization. Once you've got that figured out, you can worry about the actual site management actions. Let's start from the SharePoint admin homepage and we'll click on sites. If this were closed, we'd open it up so that we can show active, archived, and deleted. Let's click on active sites to open up this list. The active sites page shows all of the sites that are currently live in your organization along with some additional information. Let's create a new site. We'll click create in the menu bar above the site's list. Now a site creation dialogue will open and you're given a choice to create a team site or a communication site, and there's some description of their basic purposes. You can also click the links on the top of the page to learn more about the two-site types. The vast majority of the sites you create will fall into one of these categories, but there are other types of sites that you can create as well. You can create publishing portals, document centers, wikis, and a few other things. But the reality is that any SharePoint site can be used for any purpose. All you need to do is add features as required. The whole point of making a choice now is that it will affect which features are already installed, thus making your job simpler. For the moment, let's create a communication site. When I click that, I will have some additional options about what type of site this will be, and once again, this isn't hypercritical. It will add in some features automatically, which may be useful, but anything in the site can be changed as needed after creation. By the way, it is possible for your organization to create their own defined site types, but that's a more advanced task that will require some development, so it's out of scope for this course, I'm going to pick Organization Home. You'll get a little bit more description and an example of what the default homepage will look like. Click use template to proceed. You need to name the site, and I always suggest descriptive names that give a clear indication of what the site's about. If the site name is available, you can add a description of the site, which I also think is a good idea, and assign the site owner. Just start typing a name and then select it from the popup. By the way, it is possible to make a group into owners, but I typically recommend having one or more individuals instead. Click next to keep going. All we have to do now is select the language and the time zone. Now, if you've got remote teams working in different locations and speaking different languages, this is a nice way to make the site more useful for them. You can make the labels and site features display in their language and have timestamps be accurate for their local time. Be a little careful here though. Languages cannot be changed after the site is created. The default storage is 25 terabytes, which is huge and should be completely sufficient for most sites. Click create site to finish it all up. Now, this will take a few moments, but the new site will show up in the list of active sites when it's done. If you need to delete a site, select it in the list, and then click the ellipsis in the menu bar and select delete from the dropdown, then delete again, and wham, that's all there is to it.
