Welcome to a blog on How to enable Start a Site option on the SharePoint Sites at the SharePoint Admin Center on Office 365. Here in this blog we will see how to enable a shortcut for the user to create a new site.
To customize you need to be a tenant admin. If you are, let’s see how we can do it,
- Click on the left corner of your SharePoint site to view the apps.
![]()
- Click on Admin.
- You will come to the “SharePoint admin center”.
- Click on Settings on the left of the Admin Center.
- Click on settings on the left navigation.
- You will see an option “Start a Site”.
![]()
- Here as we can see we have the options which we can choose to configure.
- You can either choose to hide this option.
- If you enable, provide the name of the site where you want it to be created and configure the stings below.
It will ask some questions in the form where you will create a new site as:
Site Classification
![]()
You can classify the site as it should be hidden from users or it’s an optional choice or a required choice to fill in.
Secondary Contact
![]()
You can ask your users to provide a secondary contact.
- Or you can choose the option, “Use the firm at this URL” and add in the form link for the users to fill in details to create a new site.
Once you complete the configuration click on OK and the option will be available accordingly on all the site collections through this tenant.
