    Dear @Selvam, Raja Priya ,

    Thank you for your post in our forum.

    According to your description, you could rename your site collection name in admin center with admin permission. You just need to make sure that site URL is unique.

    1. One user has deleted the some of the files/folders in the document library and we wants to restore the library to previous version, but we cant do it on the same Document library as it is production library and the other users are making changes everyday. Is it possible to restore the document library with the different name and store it in the same site collection. What we have to do it in that case?
    2. Can I restore a subsite to previous version?
    3. If the Site Collection is deleted and it is available in the admin center recycle bin. can we restore that with in same
      tenant with different name?
    4. If the Site Collection is not deleted can we restore that to the previous version, with in same tenant with different name?

    Hi @Selvam, Raja Priya

    Thank you for the reply, I now understand your problem.

    Version history is available only for files, such as files in your library or page files in site contents.
    Currently your question1, question2 and question 4 cannot be solved, it is by default.

    About question3, you can restore a site collection from recycle bin first and then rename this site collection.
    Site collection URLs are unique for both in the Recycle Bin and in the active site. So this operation will not affect other sites with the same name.

    I hope I can offer you a better experience next time if I have a chance to work with you again.

    Yours sincerely,
    Renjie Sun
