Site is not listed in site Collections

Hi,

 

I have created Site using modern view but it is not listed in site collection.

(@ https://siteName-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/SiteCollections.aspx).

 

Where can i find the settings of the site which is created by modern view ?

what is the location and where it stores the data ?

 

  • Modern Team Sites, Communication sites, Groups, Teams connected sites etc created through the user interface is not visible in the SPO Admin center at the moment. You either have to use PowerShell to get all site collections or wait until end of this year for the new and improved SPO Admin center.

      Nothinn1 Clicking the Export button on top of the empty 'Active sites' list will generate a CSV containing the sites...

    For now, the new admin center preview has started showing all modern sites created and their summary about storage limit, storage used, etc. Also now give option directly to associate to a hub site or change associations and lot many features.

     

    Do this - Goto O365 Admin Center -> Select SharePoint Admin Center -> Click a message from MS on top saying "Check out the New Admin Center" and you should get what you need

     

    Cheers!

      This still dosen't work even with the New and "improved" (LoL) Admin Center for SharePoint. Dealing with this MS stuff has gotten unreal. I can copy and paste the exact URL from the site and it still doesn't find it. For Christ Sake, I'm looking at a SharePoint Site in my web browser that all of our users can see an access and yet the exact same site can't be found anywhere on the ADMIN side! What a nightmare!

        I get the same issues in our tenancy, somehow "classic" SPO sites aren't shown in Sharepoint admin, making it very difficult to manage. How do you upgrade a classic site to modern if you cant find it?

        In my experience, the new Groups and Teams, will automatically create hidden "Sites" inside the ROOT site collection.  I'm  learning fast not to put anything in there (the core site you started with) that I need to keep track of.  Having said that, what you are trying to do is incredibly easy once you learn what Teams and Groups are doing and where Microsoft is heading.  To get there in either Azure, or Office 365 Admin center, go to "Groups".  You will see the named group of the site that was created.  You will see people in the Owners and Members Group.  Add yourself to the Owners Group, and consider making the current owners as members instead.  Then try to navigate to the url you found, and you'll be there.  The real culprit here is "how do you prevent people from doing this", and it's vague.  You can disable it entirely (I don't recommend it) following the instructions here https://support.office.com/en-us/article/manage-who-can-create-office-365-groups-4c46c8cb-17d0-44b5-9776-005fced8e618 , but I prefer to not fight where Microsoft is heading, and use this https://support.office.com/en-us/article/office-365-groups-naming-policy-6ceca4d3-cad1-4532-9f0f-d469dfbbb552

        Teams, as you know now will replace Skype as the collaborative platform, so I believe it's important to hammer this stuff in advance, because if you disable anything, it will harm your Teams rollout.  Hope this helps.  There's plenty more to it.
