## Limitations

Publishing sites and a handful of legacy site template types are not available to archive with Microsoft 365 Archive. Teams channel sites are available for Archive only via PowerShell.
- Publishing sites, channel sites and a handful of legacy site template types are not available to archive with Microsoft 365 Archive.
- While sites associated with Teams with exclusively standard channels are supported for archiving, sites associated with Teams that include private or shared channels are only partially supported:
- SharePoint Admin Center: Archiving a site with channel sites is not possible. (Message: "The group connected site with channel sites associated can't be archived.")
- PowerShell & Graph API: Archiving a site with channel sites is not blocked.
Only the main site associated to the Team (and its standard channels) is archived; the private and shared channel sites remain active. Archiving the channel sites directly is not possible, as these sites use unsupported site templates.
