SharePoint Online: Unable to edit Managed Properties in the search schema at site collection level.?

[David Opdendries]

Sometime last week the ability to edit managed properties at site collection level disappeared and the only option available is to view. This problem is on all tentants I currently use. Does anyone else have this problem? Has Microsoft done some changes here?

@David Opdendries, what are you trying to change within the Managed Properties? Which managed property are you trying to change?

[#3]

Refinablestring00 for example. But basically there are several Managed Properties we would like to change. None of them are editable anymore.

I have not seen this issue ever in Office 365 tenants that I work with.

Just make sure you are at the right page though.

Site Level Schema - only view option is with this URL: /_layouts/15/listmanagedproperties.aspx?level=site

SiteCollection Level Schema - allows edit is with this URL: /_layouts/15/listmanagedproperties.aspx?level=sitecol

Hope this helps !

Bingo. That was the problem. There is about 4 of us that are confused here. I would like to say the link has changed on the "Schema" approx last Thursday at midnight but maybe we are all just working to hard :)

Been there as is as far as I can remember but yes I can understand the confusion !
