Removing SharePoint hybrid scenarios

APPLIES TO: 2013 2016 2019 Subscription Edition SharePoint in Microsoft 365

This guide will walk you through removing SharePoint Hybrid functionality from your SharePoint in Microsoft 365 farm.

Cloud Hybrid Search

Cloud Hybrid Search may be removed by deleting the Search Service Application.

Note

Before deleting the Search Service Application, make sure to delete the content sources. This ensures that SPO results won't include documents from your on-premises environment.

1. In the Central Administration website, select Application Management.

2. In the Application Management page, select Manage service applications.

3. In the Service Application page, highlight your Cloud Hybrid Search Service Application. The name of the Service Application may vary, but the Type will be Search Service Application.

   Note

   The Type is identical to the standard SharePoint in Microsoft 365 Search Service Application.

4. On the ribbon, select Delete.

5. You may then create a new non-Cloud Search Service Application. For info about how to create and manage your Search Service Application, see the SharePoint Server documentation in Search.

If you want to remove all hybrid documents from SharePoint Online search results, contact the support team for further guidance.

OneDrive and sites

After you have configured OneDrive and Sites hybrid, you can manage it in the SharePoint in Microsoft 365 Central Administration website.

1. In the Central Administration website, select Microsoft 365.
2. On the Microsoft 365 page, select Configure hybrid OneDrive and Sites features.
3. On the Configure hybrid OneDrive and Sites features page, under the Select hybrid features, select None, and then select OK.

Setting the option to None also removes the Hybrid app launcher feature.
