How to create a communication or team site on SharePoint Online?

 A site collection essentially consists of a top-level site and any subordinate sites. You can create pages, lists, and document libraries in a site collection to facilitate team collaboration and communication. SharePoint essentially has two types of site collections: communication sites and team sites. You should create a Team site if you want to create a space where members of a work group or project team may communicate, arrange an event, track progress, or share ideas. Create a communication site if you wish to implement an intranet, "broadcast" a message, share content for viewing (but not editing) with a big audience or the entire organisation, or highlight services or people. Let's now examine how to build a site.

  1. Go to app launcher and click "Admin" under Apps



  2. Click 'Show all', from the left navigation.


  3. Click 'SharePoint', under 'Admin centers'


  4. Expand the ‘Sites’ and click ‘Active sites’ in the left navigation bar 


  5. You may see all the live sites here; to create a new site, click "+Create".


  6. In the right pane, decide if you want to build a "Team" or "Communication" site. I've selected the Team website here.

  7. Choose a name for your site, enter the owner's information, choose a language, expand the advance options to adjust the privacy settings, and then click "Next."


  8. Your site will be created in a short while. To find the website you built under active sites, type its name into the search box.

  9. Click on the 'URL' to open the newly created sites.
