    I just got off the phone with Microsoft support.

    Seemed that the GUI for setting this up didn't work and after running a command showed that PWA was disabled - PWAEnabled : Disabled

    We ran these in PowerShell (we changed the name here to YOUR tenant name, and YOUR site):
    Connect-SPOService -url https://M365TenantNameHere-admin.sharepoint.com
    Get-SPOSite -Identity https://M365TenantNameHere.sharepoint.com/sites/PWASiteNameHere |fl 
    #PWAEnabled : Disabled
    Set-SPOSite -Enable $true -identity https://M365TenantNameHere.sharepoint.com/sites/PWASiteNameHere

     

     

     

    Now it works, I had a few sites that I created, so we ran the command a few times.  This is what it should be.  Seems when it was going through, it somehow changed the PWAEnabled: Disabled when it should be Enabled.  The graphic above shows when we executed and got the result below and checked and it was enabled.  Originally it was disabled.

This issue usually occurs because of the PWA instance is not provisioned correctly. You didn't create the PWA Project Database. You created the PWA Project Database but you didn't attach it to your PWA instance.

The PWA instance is not provisioned correctly. The PWA Project Database was not created by you. You didn't attach the PWA Project Database to your PWA instance.
