Changing a Private Sharepoint Online site to a Public one
Hey all, anyone have and advice on what is the PROPER way to take a Sharepoint Online site that was created from a MS Teams team and opening it to a Public (RO) site? We found multiple ways, but just want to know what is the best practice. Thanks!
Jleebiker SharePoint Online does not support public websites. Everyone has to either be a member of your organization or be explicitly invited to the site.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/sites/public-websites-be-discontinued Jleebiker I think I just figured this out! Here are the steps:
1. Go to the site page
2. Select Settings (tool icon) in the top right corner of the site
3. Select 'Site Information'
4. Scroll down until you see 'Privacy Settings' and change from Private to Public, or vice versa
5. Save!
Hope this helps people!
- It really depends on what you mean by making a SPO site public....public or private makes more sense for Teams and Groups and not so much for SPO Sites
jcgonzalezmartinPublic=viewable by anyone. Does not have to be inside our org. Does not require login. If we used Conversations on the SPO site though, would want people to login before they could make a comment.
- Yeap, what Trevor said
