SharePoint Online: Tenant rename General Availability (GA) for tenants with up to 500K sites
SharePoint Online Tenant Rename is now generally available for tenants with up to 500K sites, allowing domain name changes during rebranding or mergers. It ensures high reliability, business continuity, and compatibility with Microsoft 365 apps, but excludes vanity domains, Multi-Geo, and tenants over 500K sites. Organizations undergoing rebranding, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or tenant consolidations often need their SharePoint domain name in URLs to reflect their new identity. The SharePoint Online (SPO) Tenant Rename feature enables this change.
