Office 365 - SharePoint - Hidden URLs

Office 365 - SharePoint - Hidden URLs

As a SharePoint or Office 365 administrator have you ever been in a situation that looking for a configuration list and you cannot find it in the site setting?

The news is you are not alone!!

 The reason you cannot find some of the lists is because Microsoft hides many URLs on SharePoint online modern experience.

I’ve gathered the list of hidden URLs as listed below. Hope this list comes in handy and saves you time when browsing SharePoint online!

(Important Note: as Microsoft update Microsoft 365 constantly, I would suggest test all the following links in your test or dev environment before running in the production environment)
