Overview
nBold now lets you provision the entire SharePoint site that backs each Microsoft Teams team and Private / Shared Channel ones. When a new team is created from a template, the corresponding SharePoint sites (including those from Private and Shared Channels) are cloned so that every workspace starts with the same pages, lists, libraries, navigation and metadata.
Why it matters: Many collaboration processes depend on carefully‑designed SharePoint information architecture. With this feature you no longer need to recreate that structure manually or maintain a separate site template solution—nBold handles it for you

About SharePoint Tabs
In the template you may add several SharePoint Tabs such as Pages, Lists, or Document Libraries. When Advanced cloning is enabled, those tabs will be reconfigured to display the new Page, List or Library created in the new site.
What is not copied (current limitations)
Site‑level permissions (e.g., owners, members, visitors, SharePoint groups)
Unique user permissions set at library or list level
Document‑library settings outside the property list above
Sub‑sites, publishing features and classic web‑parts
If you rely on custom permission models, plan to configure them manually or via a post‑provisioning automation.
How to enable it in a template
Open nBold → Templates and select the template you want to edit (or create a new one).
In the bottom check "Advanced Cloning".
