SharePoint PnP roadmap

Good news!
On Sep, 18 during the SIG community call, PnP Team shared their plans on PnP Sites Core library and PnP Core SDK.
“PnP Sites Core v4” library and “PnP Core SDK v1” with .net core support (.net Standard 2.0) – expected in December 2020!

PnP PowerShell v4 for SPO library built for .Net Standard 2.0 / PowerShell 7 will be released in Dec 2020 as well.

SPO Sub-Sites are disabled. How to create a Sub-Site.

In Office 365 SharePoint admin can disable SubSites creation:

Well, agree, SubSites are not really disabled, but the button to create subsites is hidden: “This controls whether the Subsite command appears on the New menu on the Site contents page”.

Anyway, the result is: you are not able to create a SubSite (web) in SharePoint Online:

Actually there are at least 3 options to create a SubSite:

Option 1. Create a SubSite in Classic mode.

Step 1: Select “Site Contents” page
Step 2: Click “Return to classic SharePoint”
Step 3: Create SubSite

Option 2. Create a SubSite from “Sites and Workspaces” page

Step 1: Go to “Site Settings”
Step 2: Select “Sites and Workspaces” page (site/_layouts/15/mngsubwebs.aspx)
Step 3: Create a SubSite

Option 3: use PowerShell PnP

Step 1: Install PowerShell PnP
Step 2: Connect to your site with PnP
Step 3: create a SubSite

Install-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline
Connect-PnPOnline -Url <your site Url> -UseWebLogin
New-PnPWeb -Url "<new Web Url>" -Title "MySubSite" -Template "STS#3"
