# BirthBiologic — "Quality Department" (old site) archival plan > **STATUS: COMPLETED 2026-06-29.** Old `Quality Department` group/site soft-deleted via Graph > (User Manager app — the Tenant Admin app 403s on group DELETE; it only has group *membership* > write, not Group.ReadWrite.All). Group restorable ~30 days, site recycle ~93 days. Pre-delete > safety delta confirmed 0 recent old-site edits unaccounted for in QSD. QSD verified to fully > mirror the Datto source (0 Datto files missing). Group id `f24b2e10-2d73-49d7-ab06-fe63065301d1`, > deletedDateTime 2026-06-29T22:23:15Z. Prepared 2026-06-29. Goal: retire the duplicate **Quality Department** site once content and access are fully consolidated into the canonical **Quality Systems Department** site. ## Why there are two sites - **Quality Department** (`/sites/QualityDepartment`) — the ORIGINAL, created 2026-04-20 as the first migration landing target (OneDrive-sync target on ACG-DWP-X-BB). Group email `QualityDepartment@birthbiologic.com`. - **Quality Systems Department** (`/sites/QualitySystemsDepartment`) — the CANONICAL site, created 2026-06-02 to use the department's real name. Group email `QualitySystemsDepartment@birthbiologic.com`. This was a rename-by-recreate (new site stood up instead of renaming the old). Content was migrated old -> new on 2026-06-26, but the old site remained in active use afterward. ## Verification (2026-06-29) - **Content parity:** 0 name-orphans. OLD = 4,743 files, NEW = 4,740+ (new has the migrated set plus files added directly to it). Every file present in OLD exists by path in NEW. - **Post-migration edits in OLD (after the 6/26 copy):** only 2 files. - `Donor Placement Log - ported over 6.29.26.xlsx` (Julie Beck, 6/29 15:18) — **already superseded in NEW** (NEW copy modified 6/29 20:45). No action needed. - `Processor Contact Information/Processor Contact Information.In Process 5.16.24. updated Surgenex 8.21.24.xlsx` (Alicia Meneely, 6/29 15:54, 20 KB) — was FORKED vs NEW copy (6/27 00:55, 64 KB). **RESOLVED 2026-06-29:** old-site version copied into QSD alongside its counterpart as `...Surgenex 8.21.24 (old QualityDepartment copy 6.29.26).xlsx` (20 KB). Both versions now coexist in QSD/Processor Contact Information/ for the Quality team to merge. No data lost on archival. - **Group footprint:** old group `QualityDepartment@` has proxy addresses `QualityDepartment@birthbiologic.com` + `QualityDepartment@birthbiologic.onmicrosoft.com`. It is **not** nested in any other group (memberOf empty). - **Active use:** users (Alicia Meneely, Julie Beck) were still editing in the OLD site on 6/29 — cutover to the new site has not fully landed. This must be addressed or new divergence will keep appearing. ## Blockers to resolve before deletion 1. **Resolve the forked file** `Processor Contact Information...Surgenex 8.21.24.xlsx` (old 20 KB vs new 64 KB). Decide which is authoritative; copy the winner into NEW. 2. **Stop users editing the old site.** Repoint any OneDrive sync still aimed at `Quality Department` on ACG-DWP-X-BB to `Quality Systems Department`, and tell Quality staff to use the new site. Without this, files keep landing in the soon-to-be-deleted site. 3. **Confirm the `QualityDepartment@` address is unused** — no mail flow / transport rules, no shared links, not referenced in any process doc. (memberOf already confirmed empty.) ## Archival steps (run after blockers cleared) — Mike, as SharePoint Admin The tenant-admin app cannot manage site lock/deletion (returns "Unsupported app only token"), so these run via PnP PowerShell or the SharePoint admin center. ```powershell # 1) Lock the old site read-only (stops further divergence; immediately signals the cutover) Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://birthbiologic-admin.sharepoint.com -Interactive Set-PnPTenantSite -Url https://birthbiologic.sharepoint.com/sites/QualityDepartment -LockState ReadOnly # 2) After a grace period (e.g. 2 weeks) with no issues, delete the group-connected site. # Because it is group-connected, removing the M365 group tears down the connected site too. # Recoverable: group soft-delete ~30 days; site recycle bin ~93 days.
