Site information improved – ‘Created From’ and ‘Teams-connected status

SharePoint is the connected service in many collaboration scenarios. End users can create sites through self-service. This allows them to work with other admins. Sites can be created directly from Outlook, Outlook, the admin center, or via API during migration. The new column ‘Created From’ shows which workload created the site.

Administrators can filter the ‘Create From’ column to see sites based on their origin. This awesome information will help to understand the reason a site was built. If a site is built from Teams, it can be seen that the site was designed to facilitate file sharing and collaboration within a project or team.

SharePoint root site replacement

A SharePoint-powered intelligent tenant must have a root site. It is what users see when they go to the root URL. like https://abc.sharepoint.com PowerShell used to be the only method of setting up a new root site. Now admin can directly replace the root site in the admin center by selecting the root site and clicking ‘Replace Site’ on the admin center command bar.
