Abstract

Techniques are described herein that are capable of iteratively updating a collaboration site or a template that may be used to create a new collaboration site. The collaboration site or the template may be updated to include new features based on (e.g., based at least in part on) a likelihood that the new features will be valuable to users. The likelihood that new features will be valuable to the users may be determined (e.g., derived) using heuristics, machine learning, intelligent user experiences, and/or an understanding of user behavior gathered by a service that provides the collaboration site or the template. The likelihood may be compared to a likelihood threshold to determine whether the collaboration site or the template is to be updated. In accordance with this example, the update may be made if the likelihood is greater than or equal to the likelihood threshold.
