SharePoint Question: When replacing a classic root site with a modern site, does the modern site remain reachable from it's original address? If not, does SharePoint put in a redirect?

FYI that that the URL you'll use to navigate to the original classic root site (after you replace it with the new modern site) will be: https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/archive-<year>-<month>-<date>T<time>/default.aspx It will use the exact date month year and time that you performed the swap. Example: https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/archive-2023-05-25T235850Z/default.aspx And don't stress if you don't get access to the original classic root site via the new "archive" URL right away. It took 48 hours before the URL worked for me.
