INFURIATING

 

Root site URL rename. One particularly popular request is to enable you to modernise your root site by replacing it with a new, modern home site that you have built. I’m happy to share that you can now do that with one click from within the SharePoint admin center.

 

Firstly, not sure if the quote above was deliberate or a mistake. Renaming and replacing are different things entirely. I for one have been waiting years to rename my tenant/domain portion of the URL. 

 

How hard is it to understand that people want to rename the sub-domain portion of their SharePoint URL and this was the "particularly popular post" referenced in the error above, not the ability to replace (or rename??). Contoso.SharePoint.com to Fabrikam.SharePoint.com please!? 

 

Ivan_Deryabin Amen to you. Microsoft were "working on it" for private Excel sheet views for years now too. Google and other competitors have nailed this for so long now. Apparently this isn't being supported for Excel offline, more salt in the wound.
