Replace a Classic Root Site Collection with a Modern Site using PowerShell
Replacing root site with a new modern site is a two-step process. Make sure you have the latest PowerShell module for SharePoint Online installed (16.0.8812.1200 or later). To get the installed PowerShell module version, use the following:
| 1 | (Get-Module-NameMicrosoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell).Version.ToString() |
Create a new modern SharePoint site collection using a communication site template and customize it as per your requirements, such as adding necessary resources like document libraries, navigation, etc. You can also use any existing modern communication site in your SharePoint environment. This will be your new top-level site.
Execute the Invoke-SiteSwap cmdlet to start replacing the old site with the new One
Here is the SharePoint Online PowerShell script to swap a new SharePoint site in place of the old site collection. As its name suggests, the Invoke-SPOSiteSwap PowerShell command swaps a site collection with another one, while taking a backup of the source site collection. Also, it creates a site redirect from the source location to the target location (unless you disable it with -DisableRedirection switch!).
| Line # | PowerShell Code: |
|---|---|
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | #Connect to SharePoint Online (Start a new Remote PowerShell tab)#Set Parameters$AdminCenterURL="https://varcitio365-Admin.sharepoint.com"$SourceSiteURL = "https://varcitio365.sharepoint.com/sites/xx" #Newly built intranet $TargetSiteURL = "https://varcitio365.sharepoint.com/" #Existing Intranet Site URL - SharePoint Root site $ArchiveSiteURL = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/Intranet-archive" #Backup for existing Intranet Connect-SPOService -Url $AdminCenterURL -Credential (Get-Credential)#Start Site SwapInvoke-SPOSiteSwap -SourceUrl $SourceSiteURL -TargetUrl $TargetSiteURL -ArchiveUrl $ArchiveSiteURL |
The Root site swap process may take a moment to complete. Please note that the source and target sites can’t connect to an Office 365 group. They also can’t be hub sites or associated with a hub (Remove the Hub site association before swapping and re-associate). Typically, it takes a few minutes to complete. All subsites contained with the source and target sites will be swapped, and this cmdlet takes the following parameters:
The Invoke-SPOSiteSwap cmdlet doesn’t convert your classic site collection into a modern one. Instead, it replaces the current site collection with another existing one! Moreover, any static link must be fixed manually.
In conclusion, replacing the classic root site collection with a modern site in SharePoint Online can be accomplished using either SharePoint Admin Center or PowerShell. This process can be useful when you’re looking to modernize your SharePoint Online environment and take advantage of the new features and functionalities available on modern sites. Overall, replacing the classic root site collection with a modern communication site that offers a modern user interface that is more visually appealing, Mobile-Friendly, advanced web parts, and intuitive, responsive user experience helps to increase productivity and collaboration.
To reset the video driver on Windows 10, you can use the keyboard shortcut Win + Ctrl + Shift + B.
This will cause the screen to flicker for a few seconds or go black for a second, and then everything will return to normal.
This method is safe and won’t affect running apps and opened documents. If the driver is misbehaving a lot, chances are that it has gone corrupt. Another way to restart the driver is by disabling and re-enabling the Display adapter from Device Manager. It is important to check if the Windows Key is not disabled as it can accidentally shift the focus.
Reset the Graphics Card Driver Using Device Manager
If you are still facing display issues even after applying the keyboard shortcut to refresh your graphics card driver, you can try resetting it with the Device Manager.
Device Manager is available on all Windows versions and provides a list of all the hardware components connected to your PC. Here, you can find the graphics card driver as well, which can be reset if needed.
Here are the steps to use the Device Manager to reset the graphics card driver:
This action will reset your graphics card driver and may clear up any display issues you were having.
If nothing else works, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics driver. Uninstalling the driver will remove it from your system completely, which should resolve any possible glitches or compatibility issues that might have been causing the display problems.
To uninstall and then reinstall the graphics card driver on Windows, follow these steps:
Word for Microsoft 365, Word 20XX
Page breaks tell Word where to start a new page. A manual page break might be making an unwanted blank page in your document.
In the middle of a document, deleting section breaks can cause formatting problems. In these cases, try changing the section break to one that doesn’t generate a new page. Here’s how:
Odd, Even, and Next cause blank pages
Next Page, Odd Page, and Even Page section breaks may create a blank page in your document. If the blank page occurs at the end of your document and you have a section break there, place your cursor directly before the section break and press Delete.
Tip: To more easily find section breaks, try switching to Draft on the View tab.
Word for Microsoft 365 Word for Microsoft 365 for Mac Word 2021
Word includes a non-deleteable end-paragraph that sometimes gets pushed out to a new, blank page at the end of a document. The way to delete the page is to make the end-paragraph fit onto the preceding page. The most sure-fire way is to make the end-paragraph very small (1 point):
If that paragraph still doesn’t fit on the preceding page, you can make the bottom margin smaller (Layout tab > Margins > Custom Margins, and set the bottom margin to something small, like 0.3 inches).
Tip: If the paragraph mark has a square bullet next to it, the paragraph might have the Page break before option turned on. To turn it off, right-select the empty paragraph, select Paragraph Settings (Home tab), and on the Lines and Page Breaks tab of the dialog box, uncheck Page break before.

Many time this happens when you are customizing a page and will not refresh and continues to use the cached page. In this case, the best thing to do is to refresh and reload the Page in the Edge Browser Cache.
The normal way to reload a page is to click on the page refresh icon at the top left of the browser next to the address bar. However if a page has a long “Time To Live” (TTL) the browser will reload the cached page and not fetch a new copy of the modified page.
To force Edge to clear the page from cache you must do a hard refresh by pressing the “Ctrl” key on the keyboard and then click on the refresh icon on the left side of the search bar.
