1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,020 [Autogenerated] Let's start by learning 2 00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:07,780 how to rename SharePoint Sykes. So when 3 00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:10,800 would you rename a SharePoint site? First 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,240 thing that comes to mind is when a team or 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,380 project changes name, there might be a 6 00:00:17,380 --> 00:00:20,120 restructuring or a new vision, and 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,340 sometimes it just happens. And it's always 8 00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:26,080 nice when the site you are URL matches the 9 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,020 name. Another one that's very common is a 10 00:00:30,020 --> 00:00:34,880 typo in the original name, or URL. Users 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,550 create a site and don't realize the typo. 12 00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:41,600 Start adding content, getting things 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,800 ready, and then another user points out 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,830 the error, and it comes to you as an admin 15 00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:51,770 to get the fixed. Done. Lastly, And I've 16 00:00:51,770 --> 00:00:54,950 seen this one quite often is that a site 17 00:00:54,950 --> 00:00:57,830 is created and used for a while for a 18 00:00:57,830 --> 00:01:01,200 project or a team, and then a high 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,570 priority or high visibility need comes 20 00:01:04,570 --> 00:01:07,170 through. And since executives are 21 00:01:07,170 --> 00:01:10,030 involved, they want a particular you are 22 00:01:10,030 --> 00:01:12,450 well, so you need to change the existing 23 00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:14,840 site. You are real to something else in 24 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,090 order to make place for the new 25 00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:21,190 initiative. Now, what kind of Sykes can we 26 00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:25,810 rename? We Can we name Microsoft 365 Group 27 00:01:25,810 --> 00:01:29,070 connected Sykes Modern standalone Team, 28 00:01:29,070 --> 00:01:33,430 Sykes Communication sites and classic team 29 00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:36,900 sites. As you can see, that's quite the 30 00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,940 list. So what can we not do? Changes on 31 00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:45,800 first Sykes that had or currently have the 32 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,150 publishing features enabled? We also 33 00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:52,980 cannot do the change on hub sites and on 34 00:01:52,980 --> 00:01:55,650 sites that are currently locked or on 35 00:01:55,650 --> 00:01:59,680 hold, and finally sites with BCS 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,480 connections, which stands for business 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,360 connective ity services. Now that we know 38 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,600 the type of Sykes, what properties can we 39 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,480 change? The two main properties when we 40 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,510 talk specifically about site rename, are 41 00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:20,230 the site title and the site URL. Changing 42 00:02:20,230 --> 00:02:23,060 the site title doesn't have a lot of 43 00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:25,900 impact, but changing the site you are, 44 00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,620 well, there's actually a few things that 45 00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:31,880 are happening in the back end that we need 46 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,080 to be aware of. So when we change the site 47 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,580 to are, well, of course, the U. R. L is 48 00:02:38,580 --> 00:02:42,110 changed on the site, and then a special 49 00:02:42,110 --> 00:02:46,880 type of site is created at the old URL, 50 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,170 and this is called a red direct site, and 51 00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:53,270 it's actually a special kind of template, 52 00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:56,120 which is called Red Direct Sight pound 53 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,810 zero. The goal of this site is to make 54 00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:02,970 sure that everyone who tries to go to the 55 00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:07,310 old URL, whether from email links, teams, 56 00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:10,650 checks, bookmarks or other places, is 57 00:03:10,650 --> 00:03:13,590 automatically read erected to the new 58 00:03:13,590 --> 00:03:16,990 site. Really important to remember the 59 00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:20,360 content and permissions of the new site 60 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,660 will stay the same. There are also some 61 00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:27,690 actions that you might have to do after 62 00:03:27,690 --> 00:03:30,890 the site you are well is changed. For 63 00:03:30,890 --> 00:03:34,390 example, if you have custom forms created 64 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:37,360 in power apps, you will need to recreate 65 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,800 them. If you have power apps that use 66 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,040 anything from that site as a data source, 67 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,770 those power apps must be reconnected to 68 00:03:46,770 --> 00:03:50,170 the new site. And if you have any power 69 00:03:50,170 --> 00:03:53,510 automate flows, those need to be recreated 70 00:03:53,510 --> 00:03:56,580 as well. If you're still using SharePoint 71 00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:59,920 2013 work flows with SharePoint designer, 72 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,940 you need to republish them. There are a 73 00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:07,300 few more items in the list, depending on 74 00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:10,620 what other services you're using or any 75 00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:14,460 custom apps on the site. So I have added a 76 00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:17,730 link in the slides for easier access to 77 00:04:17,730 --> 00:04:21,890 the full list. Remember, the slides can be 78 00:04:21,890 --> 00:04:24,620 downloaded from the course files, so this 79 00:04:24,620 --> 00:04:28,230 way you can easily copy paste the link in 80 00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:31,270 your favorite browser. Now that we talked 81 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:34,100 about the theory. How do we actually 82 00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:37,720 rename those sites? There are two ways it 83 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,930 can either be done via the user interface, 84 00:04:40,930 --> 00:04:48,000 which is the SharePoint Online Admin center or via PowerShell.
