Promote SharePoint Subsite To Main Site
I have SharePoint 365 and I was wondering if there was a way to promote a subsite into the main site. I am wanting to make the subsite the home page for the overall site. Thanks.
template the site and create a new site using the template.

Thank you! Will that also move the data that's on the site? It's a blog.
Yes, you can include the content.
Here's a guide:

Awesome thank you. I followed the steps, and I was able to create the site from the template. However, it just created an additional subsite alongside the site I made the template from. Is it possible that this method is for transferring a site between collections and not from subsite to main site? I am probably just looking at this all wrong, and I may have even asked my original question incorrectly. I have a main site with addresses similar to "something.sharepoint.com/ sitepages/ home.aspx" . /sitepages/home.aspx is currently the landing page when someone goes to "something.sharepoint.com" . My blog is addressed similar to this "something.sharepoint.com/ blog". This is where I would like to direct users when they go to "something.sharepoint.com" . I thought that I might be able to migrate the blog into the "sitepage" directory, and then I could just use the "Make Homepage" button to accomplish this, but I am not seeing how to do that (or if that is even what I should do). Should I go ahead and award points for this question and then make a new one with my above question? Thank you.
