Add a sample site to your organization

Discover the modern experiences you can build with Microsoft SharePoint. Use the SharePoint look book and integrated provisioning service to find inspiring samples of communication sites and team sites that look great on the web and on mobile devices. Then, add one or more sample sites to your organization. You can customize the sample to use for your own site or use the site for learning or showing to your colleagues. You can add a sample site with the SharePoint look book and the integrated SharePoint provisioning service.

What's included in a sample? You get:

  • A modern communication or team site, depending on the sample you choose
  • A site home page with sample branding, web parts, content, and images
  • Sample news posts and pages
  • Sample navigation
