How To Create SharePoint Online Subsite Using Available Template On SharePoint

Today, I am writing about how to create subsites using available templates on SharePoint Online. We can create subsites under a site collection. A subsite in SharePoint online can be used to manage different projects.

In my last article, I mentioned “Brief Description About Site Templates in SharePoint 2016”.

But I have noticed, there is a new template (Duet Enterprise) available on SharePoint Online. Below is the screenshot for SharePoint On-premises and SharePoint Online.
