# Restoring Microsoft 365 Sites

You can restore Microsoft 365 sites either to the same source client or to a new destination client.

Notes

- During an out-of-place restore operation of multiple related sites, the top-most selected site in the source hierarchy is restored to the destination site. The remaining subsites are restored in the same hierarchical order as seen in the source.

- You cannot browse and restore the deleted items.

- You cannot select multiple sites for a single restore operation.

## Before You Begin

If you are restoring a deleted site, you must manually create the destination top-level site before performing the restore operation. Deleted subsites are automatically created under the destination top-level site during the restore operation.

   The Microsoft 365 Overview page appears.

2. On the Apps tab, click a SharePoint server.
