- [Instructor] Before we begin creating
a SharePoint sites, let's talk about the types
of SharePoint sites that exist right now
that we'll find if we go look at SharePoint online
in most organizations.
First we have classic sites, and these are sites
that were created in the past.
Some might be being created right now,
but these sites were the bread and butter
of the SharePoint online and SharePoint server experience
for quite a while.
The first type is team sites, and team sites
were created for collaboration among members of a team.
And this isn't team in the sense we necessarily mean it now.
This could have been an informal group
that was created simply by adding people to a site.
Or project sites, a different site template
that's used to create a particular type of site experience.
There are also publishing sites that were created
to allow an approval process behind different types
of publishing.
You might see each and every one of these sites
reflected in your SharePoint experience right now.
For example, this is a SharePoint team site,
classic experience.
At the top we have some navigation, and that's a clue,
because we can go to other sites from here.
Or a site that was created more recently, a project site.
And the reason that this was created
using the classic experience is
that there's a classic template that our organization uses
to be able to create project sites,
and we've just continued to do that,
at least in the short term.
All of the classic sites are created
as subsites of other sites.
