Related terms
- Communication site
A SharePoint site aimed at reaching a broad readership with news and information, with only a handful of people writing for it. Where a team site is backed by a Microsoft 365 group, this one is not, and the Owners, Members and Visitors SharePoint groups manage who gets in.
- Hub site
A SharePoint communication or team site that an admin has turned into a hub, so the sites linked to it get common navigation, branding and search, and their news is gathered in one place. Linking a site leaves its permissions untouched; each tenant can register no more than 2,000 hubs.
- Protected Objects
Microsoft 365 backup report: any user, team, site or group with a usable restore point inside the RPO counts as protected.
