If we return to Classic site experience then what are the limitations and features and expected issues that we should be aware of from classic site which was converted and mapped to modern site?

Also how to remove the achieved mode on that SharePoint site as well?

Our Scenario is: We have converted our Classic root site to modern site by mapping the modern site to Classic root site by following the SharePoint below docs https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/modern-root-site#replace-your-root-site

    Hi @Vinod Survase ,

    If you return to classic, the main features you will lose are the integration with Microsoft 365 groups, new modern web parts that don't require coding, more lists and libraries, a responsive out-of-the-box mobile experience, a Recycle Bin, modern search functionality, and an out-of-the-box Sharepoint news feed. Many of these differences are highlighted in these articles:

    https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-sharepoint-blog/what-is-modern-sharepoint-and-why-should-i-care/ba-p/161941You should be able to revert to Classic by following the process in the article and updating the settings in the admin center. You can change the look under the Sharepoint settings.

    Let me know if this addresses your question or if you have any other specific questions.
