In this article we will look at how to change the root site of your SharePoint online tenant.

Introduction

By default your SharePoint Online default site is unlikely to be the site you want users to go to.

Using the Invoke-SPOSiteSwap command inside of the SharePoint Online Management Shell we are able ot change the root site.

$soureSite = “https://yourTenant.sharepoint.com/sites/yourSite”
$archiveSite = “https://yourTenant.sharepoint.com/sites/archivedRoot”
