Dhammy2022 thanks. But, this is only free for 90 days and I have a lot of SPO to go through - which is not even my real day job.
Is there any other way to do this ... like create a new site within the Site Collection called Development say, and then Migrate a copy of all the other subsites to this one and work on them there? Once subsites are sorted out (structure, permissions, etc.) to migrate them back. Would this allow for retention of new permissions, etc. after migration? Or is this simply a bad idea?
