Convert a web site or subweb to a folder

Warning   When you convert a web site or subweb to a folder, many of the web site settings may be lost. 

• Converting a subweb to a folder makes the subweb available to anyone with permissions on the parent web site.
• Pages with a theme applied may change to match the parent web site's theme.
• Hyperlinks in navigation bars to these pages will be lost.
• Tasks for these pages will be lost.

To convert a web site or subweb to a folder:

1. In Folders view, right-click the web site you want to convert to a folder.
2. Click Convert to Folder on the shortcut menu.

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