Merge a subweb based on SharePoint Team Services or FrontPage Server Extensions 2002

When you merge a subweb based on SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft or FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 to a parent web, it becomes another folder with web pages under in the parent web. You will lose no information on pages within the subweb; however, the subweb loses whatever unique permissions it might have had. Any subwebs below the merged subweb are promoted to subwebs under the parent web site.

  1. On Tools menu, point to Server, and then click Administration Home.
  2. On the Site Administration page, under Subwebs, click Merge a subweb.
  3. Click the Web name drop-down list, and then click the name of the subweb that you would like to merge with the parent web.
  4. Click Merge Subweb.

Note   You cannot merge a subweb if it contains document libraries or SharePoint Team Services-based lists such as discussion boards or task lists. If you want to merge a subweb that contains a list, you must first export the list to a spreadsheet program (such as Microsoft Excel 2002), then merge the subweb, and then import the list again. To merge a subweb that contains a document library, you must copy the documents out of the document library, delete the document library, merge the subweb, create a new document library, and then copy the documents into the new document library.
