How to check SharePoint Online site type

Question

I am using SharePoint Online and have an existing site.
It is most likely communication or publishing.

How to check, which type it is?

Is it possible to do so from the browser?

Answer 1

You can use SharePoint online management shell to run powershell cmdlet to get the template id and compare to know the site template

$adminUPN=<admin account>
$userCredential = Get-Credential -UserName $adminUPN -Message "Type the password."
Connect-SPOService -Url https://domainname-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $userCredential
Get-SPOSite -Identity <site url> -detailed|select template

It will return a template ID and you can refer to a list here: https://vladtalkstech.com/2019/12/sharepoint-online-site-template-id-list-for-powershell.html
