Need to Convert SharePoint Document Set to Normal Folder Without Changing URL
I have an existing Document Set in a SharePoint Online document library that I want to convert into a standard folder. However, it's critical that I do not move the files or change the URL structure, as the documents are already referenced externally. Is there a supported method to remove or downgrade the Document Set functionality and make it behave like a normal folder without breaking links or moving content?

Use a PowerShell script to convert a document set to a folder while retaining the URL:
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/sites/yoursite $docSet = Get-PnPListItem -List Documents” -Id <ItemID> $docSet[ContentTypeId] = 0x0120 # Folder content type ID $docSet.Update() Invoke-PnPQuery
