ITS is making a minor change to SharePoint site creation.
You can create a SharePoint site three ways: within the SharePoint website, when you create a Team in Teams, and when you set up a new Group in Outlook. Starting April 9th, you will not be able to create a new site in SharePoint; ITS is removing the button “+ Create Site.” You will be able to continue creating sites by setting up a new Team or Group, which will automatically come with a SharePoint site.
We’re making this change so that ITS can better manage inactive SharePoint sites. When a site is created with a new Team or Group, we can notify owners and implement a renewal/deletion process. We do not have this ability when a site is created in SharePoint.
For assistance, see our guide on how to create a SharePoint site in Teams.
