MicrosoftUPDATE: Create Office 365 Groups with team sites from SharePoint home moving beyond First Release
We recently completed the worldwide rollout for Office 365 Groups getting full-powered SharePoint team sites at the end of January 2017. Our next step is to now bring the ability to create SharePoin...
Now when I click "Create site", it automatically guide me thru the steps to create a team site integrated with O355 group. Is it still possible to create a traditional sharepoint site? If yes what is the procedure? Thanks.
The "Create Site" is managed by your SharePoint Administrator (in the SharePoint Settings) - additionally, classic SharePoint Sites should be able to be created from the SiteCollections Administration menu.
Hi Ivan,
Thanks. Actually I am the administrator myself. I found below setting and after I change it to the third button "A classic site", I can create a traditional site now.
It's just a bit confusing because the default setting is "A site with an Office365 group or a classic site", which I expect it will let me choose either one. But indeed when I click "create site" it just assume I am creating an O365 group site without ever give me a choice.

Hi Deleted - for more information on the admin site creation settings check out this help article:
The purpose of the first link - modern or classic is to support those who want to restrict O365 group creation to a subset of users (so those not in that group would get the classic option to create a team site subweb) - but unless this restriction is set (see article above for details on setting these AAD properties) the form will default to creating a modern, group-connected team site collection.
