This can help reduce user confusion and calls to your help desk.

This can cause issues if you subsequently want to use the current address for another site. Instead, we recommend returning the site back to its original address. To do so, you use an additional site rename and delete certain redirect sites. [Learn how to delete redirect sites](manage-site-redirects.md). ++For a case where you changed https://<i></i>contoso.sharepoint.<i></i>com/sites/*project-x* to https://<i></i>contoso.sharepoint.<i></i>com/sites/*project-y* and want to revert back, the steps to follow are: +1. Delete the redirect from *project-x* to *project-y* by using the Remove-SPOSite cmdlet on the *project-x* address. +2. Initiate a new site address change from *project-y* to *project-x*. +3. Delete the redirect from *project-y* to *project-x* by using the Remove-SPOSite cmdlet on the *project-y* address. ++After following these steps, you should be back to the original state before the site address change. |

Once built, this structure can be inflexible and difficult to maintain. -In the modern SharePoint experience, sub-sites are not recommended.

This will allow you to easily distribute management and accountability for each content collection and support your ability to move sites around in your navigational architecture without breaking links.

Many intranets include top navigation that persists on every site. Global naviga - Locations - Policies & Procedures/Tools & Resources/Safety & Security -The goal of global navigation is to support browsing to content, but since there is limited real estate available for global navigation links, global links generally point to major category navigation pages, sub-links, or a mega menu experience to provide enough "information scent" to help viewers navigate their way to the content they need. Because the context for global navigation must be broad, it is challenging to make the labels both comprehensive and useful. If you plan to implement global navigation, you will want to test your proposed navigation to make sure that it resonates with users. +The goal of global navigation is to support browsing to content.
