New Communication Sites
/sites and /teams depends on your setting the the Sharepoint Online admin UI. You can pick which one self-service sites are created under, and you have set it to /teams in your tenant. But agree, you might want comm sites on /sites. So you would have to switch it to /sites, create the comm sites, and switch it back so that Groups go on /teams.
Hi Andrew warland,
I have created a site collection using the communication site template. As a requirement i have to make some changes using custom scripts for which I am unable to see "Script Editor" webpart . So I went to Admin center to enable the custom script settings , but I am unable to see the created communication site in the admin center site collection list.
Attached the Screenshots below.
Could you please let me know , where are the site collections that are created using "Communication sites" is stored? and also how to enable the custom script settings for the same.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Padmashri
The two attachments don't open by the way, they try to divert me to box.com.
There are two answers to your first question about the script editor webpart: (a) they don't exist as web part, so you need to (b) consider using SPFx to achieve the same outcome. We are minimising our use of SPFx as much as possible as we've learned over the years that any form of customisation needs to be maintained and fixed when it breaks.
On the second question, Communication and Group-based sites do not appear in the old SharePoint Admin centre. You'll only see them when the new Admin centre is released.
In the meantime, to get to the communication site settings, go to the site, navigate via the 'cog' or 'gear' icon to Site Information, then on to Site Settings. The URL is:
https://(tenant).sharepoint.com/(sites or teams)/(sitename)/_layouts/15/settings.aspxPadmashri Srinivasalu Rajnarayanan
I have just discovered the "missing Communication Site" issue too. I'd created it for the basis of an new intranet only to realise it's not part of the SharePoint Admin's list of sites. Nor can i find it via O365 Groups in exchange.
What's the thought process behind this? .... Mikael Svenson do you know?
Surely this is opening us up for site sprawl like never before. How can we set policies (Labels) to sites we can't see or even know about?
I've now deleted the Communication site, and will recreated a Team Site and from the Admin Center and add the web parts manually. At least that way i'll have oversight and governance of it. I understand the reasoning behind the new-flatter architecture and haveing fewer sites stacked one below the other, but this is really weird!

Paul.
