Siteswap using Invoke-spositeswap failing to redirect from Source Url to target

Question

Hello All,&nbsp;We have performed the Invoke-Spositeswap operation on our Intranet site. The swap source was a Modern communication site, and the target was Tenant Root. After solving all the error messages shown by Page&nbsp;diagnostic tool, the command worked fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;The issue is the Source URL redirect to the target (root in our case) is not working; it has been over 24 hours now since we performed the swap.The source URL: ***.sharepoint.com/sites/abc; instead of redirecting to&nbsp;***.sharepoint.com/,&nbsp; is giving an error as below.This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at&nbsp;https://***.sharepoint.com/sites/abc&nbsp;might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE&nbsp;I see the redirectsite#0 template applied on the Source URL and is not available on the admin center active sites as expected!&nbsp;Any suggestions on this, please?

Have you tried doing it from the Admin center ?Have you checked that you don't have any retention policies or something stopping you ?
