Change Teams site URL
Hi All, Seeing as Teams is evolving so much so quickly, I'm just after a quick confirmation ... I know there is work being done on synching the name of a channel with it's storage folder, but...
haha ... I just tested it, and yes, it broke ...
At least you figured out how NOT to change an URL 🙂
what excatly breaks in a Microsoft Teams Team after renaming the Sharepoint URL?
I need to rename some Microsoft Teams and keep all the history. I want to rename everything relating to the name so there won't any mix ups with the old name.
I created a test group and renamed the Microsoft Teams team-name, mail-address and for Sharepoint the name and the URL. So far I didn't encounter a Problem.
What problems did you face?
- The link between Teams and the SharePoint site broke - so no files were accessible.
Can you share how you were able to rename everything?- Hello Rob,
Take a look at this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepoint/change-site-address. Scroll down to the Teams (for Microsoft 365 group-connected sites). It mentions that the files tab in channels will need to be refreshed after an address change. I tested this out and it works!
All I did was click the refresh symbol in the top-right corner of each channel and the files re-appeared. Sometimes, you'll have to click the refresh symbol more than once. But in each case, it worked. So, it's a bit of a pain if the Team has a lot of channels. But it's an otherwise easy process.
Hope this helps!
