Convert a folder to a subweb

Folders under a root web site can be converted to subwebs with their own permissions for who can author, browse, or administer them.

To convert a folder to a subweb, do the following:

1. In the Folder list, right-click the folder you want to convert to a subweb.

   Warning   Do not convert the root folder of your computer's hard drive. Doing so may make your hard drive unusable.

2. Click Convert to Web on the shortcut menu.

   The larger the contents of the folder, the longer it will take to convert the folder to a web site. For a large folder, this process could take several minutes.

Notes

• Pages that include other files may not be updated when the included files change.
• Hyperlinks on link bars might not work correctly if you follow this procedure.
