1 00:00:02,875 --> 00:00:04,875 Now that have seen the theory on how to 2 00:00:04,875 --> 00:00:07,693 update site properties, let's go to the 3 00:00:07,693 --> 00:00:12,018 lab and see it in real life. We are now in 4 00:00:12,018 --> 00:00:14,375 the lab environment, so let me first go to 5 00:00:14,375 --> 00:00:16,875 the UI, and let's go to the Active sites, 6 00:00:16,875 --> 00:00:20,304 and let's pick our Charity at 7 00:00:20,304 --> 00:00:22,431 Globomantics. If we want to modify some of 8 00:00:22,431 --> 00:00:25,275 the properties, first of all, we must go 9 00:00:25,275 --> 00:00:27,966 into the information here about the site, 10 00:00:27,966 --> 00:00:30,875 and here I can really edit the properties, 11 00:00:30,875 --> 00:00:35,275 such as the URL, hub site association, the 12 00:00:35,275 --> 00:00:38,018 storage limit, primary admin, add other 13 00:00:38,018 --> 00:00:41,320 admins, change the external sharing, and 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,875 even change the title here at the top. 15 00:00:44,875 --> 00:00:47,500 However, not all of the options are 16 00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:51,732 available via the admin center. Some of 17 00:00:51,732 --> 00:00:54,625 them are only via PowerShell, but how do 18 00:00:54,625 --> 00:00:57,542 we know what they are? So let me go into 19 00:00:57,542 --> 00:00:59,875 PowerShell here, and a trick I have, 20 00:00:59,875 --> 00:01:02,375 because I don't remember all of the 21 00:01:02,375 --> 00:01:04,542 different properties myself, what I 22 00:01:04,542 --> 00:01:07,542 usually do is I get a site. So, for 23 00:01:07,542 --> 00:01:09,875 example, here I'm going to get SPOSite, 24 00:01:09,875 --> 00:01:14,675 CharityatGlobomantics, and then I will 25 00:01:14,675 --> 00:01:17,475 select all of the properties from that 26 00:01:17,475 --> 00:01:20,475 site. So what this will give me? It will 27 00:01:20,475 --> 00:01:22,575 really give me all of the different 28 00:01:22,575 --> 00:01:25,125 properties that we can change for that 29 00:01:25,125 --> 00:01:27,542 site collection. So, for example, if I 30 00:01:27,542 --> 00:01:29,675 want to disable flows, I could simply do 31 00:01:29,675 --> 00:01:33,431 it, and you don't have to remember them by 32 00:01:33,431 --> 00:01:36,784 heart. You really just need to know how to 33 00:01:36,784 --> 00:01:39,875 get to them. Some things, like the 34 00:01:39,875 --> 00:01:43,075 template, cannot be changed after the site 35 00:01:43,075 --> 00:01:45,125 is created; however, most of the things 36 00:01:45,125 --> 00:01:49,208 that we have in the properties can be 37 00:01:49,208 --> 00:01:51,511 modified. A good example of something that 38 00:01:51,511 --> 00:01:54,675 you might want to modify at this site 39 00:01:54,675 --> 00:01:58,542 collection level is the 40 00:01:58,542 --> 00:02:01,875 SocialBarOnSitePagesDisabled and the 41 00:02:01,875 --> 00:02:03,875 CommentsOnSitePagesDisabled. So maybe it's 42 00:02:03,875 --> 00:02:07,148 a sensitive site and you don't want people 43 00:02:07,148 --> 00:02:10,375 commenting on news or on pages, and you 44 00:02:10,375 --> 00:02:12,304 don't want people liking them either, you 45 00:02:12,304 --> 00:02:15,275 might want to disable those settings. So 46 00:02:15,275 --> 00:02:18,239 you'd run a Set-SPOSite, give the identity 47 00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:22,075 of the site that you want to modify. Here 48 00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:23,675 I'm going to change the title to, let's 49 00:02:23,675 --> 00:02:29,208 say, EMEA Charity Initiatives and 50 00:02:29,208 --> 00:02:32,875 SocialBarOnSitePageDisabled true. So let's 51 00:02:32,875 --> 00:02:36,375 run it. It'll take anywhere between 10 52 00:02:36,375 --> 00:02:39,446 seconds and 1 or 2 minutes, really 53 00:02:39,446 --> 00:02:42,304 depending on what properties you're 54 00:02:42,304 --> 00:02:46,375 changing. But now let's go to the URL 55 00:02:46,375 --> 00:02:49,542 here, and as you can see, the title got 56 00:02:49,542 --> 00:02:52,375 updated to EMEA Charity Initiatives. It's 57 00:02:52,375 --> 00:02:55,375 really that easy to update site 58 00:02:55,375 --> 00:02:57,653 properties. Most of the time I do it via 59 00:02:57,653 --> 00:03:00,875 PowerShell and not via the admin center 60 00:03:00,875 --> 00:03:03,500 simply because all of the controls are 61 00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:05,589 there. And once you get used to 62 00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:08,675 PowerShell, it's a lot easier to do it 63 00:03:08,675 --> 00:03:11,304 that way anyway. This is it for updating 64 00:03:11,304 --> 00:03:13,589 site properties. Now let's go back to the 65 00:03:13,589 --> 00:03:16,875 lab and look at how we can delete sites, 66 00:03:16,875 --> 00:03:21,000 as well as restore them from the recycle bin.
