Remarks

Renaming site collections is by default asynchronous and depending on the current state of Microsoft 365, might take up to few minutes. If you're building a script with steps that require the operation to complete fully, you should use the --wait flag. When using this flag, the spo site rename command will keep running until it receives confirmation from Microsoft 365 that the site rename operation has completed.

Important

To use this command you must have permissions to access the tenant admin site.

Examples

Starts the rename of the site collection with name "samplesite" to "renamed" without modifying the title

m365 spo site rename --url http://contoso.sharepoint.com/samplesite --newUrl http://contoso.sharepoint.com/renamed

Starts the rename of the site collection with name "samplesite" to "renamed" modifying the title of the site to "New Title"

m365 spo site rename --url http://contoso.sharepoint.com/samplesite --newUrl http://contoso.sharepoint.com/renamed --newTitle "New Title"

Renames the specified site collection and waits for the operation to complete
