Walkthrough - Promote

Promote converts your subsite to a site collection by migrating it to the same level as your other site collections.

Note: You can decide to keep your original subsite in the options when using Promote.

Prerequisites

• You have Global admin, Farm admin or SharePoint admin permissions.
• You have site collection admin permissions on the site collection that contains the subsites you want to promote.
• You are connected to your Microsoft 365 Admin center or SharePoint central admin.

Note: Site collection admin permissions are required even if you have higher admin privileges like SharePoint admin or Global admin permissions. For more information click here.
