General queries on Communication Sites in SharePoint Online
Hi All ,
I'm planning to do a webinar on SharePoint Online Communication sites and I have the below mentioned queries on Communication Sites. It would be great if you can help me with these doubts .
1. What's the default quota for Communication sites and can the quota limit be increased ?
2. Can we open a Communication site using SharePoint Designer and customize it ?
3. What are the methods to customize a Communication site ?
4. Can we create a communication site using PowerShell and if yes what's the command for that ?
5.How do we restore a deleted Communication site if it has been deleted by mistake ?
6. Does Communication site support SharePoint Framework?

- Not official answers, but based on my research and experience:
1) Should be the same as any other Site collection best I can tell (same PowerShell scripts apply, they arent in the Admin center yet)
2) Yes, but you have to run a PS script first (Set-SPOSite -Identity <url here> -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0)
3) SPFX (I highly recommend the Modern Script Editor Web Part for quick and easy customization), its harder than it used to be if you aren't an actual developer
4) Not yet
5) Just like restoring and deleting a site collection today best I can tell (from PowerShell), but havent attempted anything
6) Yes, and the new SPFX extensions coming soonThanks Brent
- 1) Up to 25 TB (this is the new limit for SPO Site Collections)
2) I don't think it's a good idea to try to customize a communication site with SP Designer
3) SPFx
4) AFAIK no
5) PowerShell
6) Correct, Communication Sites are modern SPO Sites by definitionRegarding point 5 "Powershell"...
I can't even *find* the user created Sharepoint 365 sites under the root. They don't appear in Sharepoint Admin, any powershell script I attempt only recognizes the actual sites created in Admin.
What is the magic trick for listing sites that users have created on their own using the "+Create Site" button in the Sharepoint flyout?
