Background : In our organization we are using M365 for all our users and we have huge user base. We have few migrations was also going on form SharePoint onpremises to M365 / SharePoint online. Because of certain reason we want to know which version of SharePoint is currently used

There are multiple ways to know the current version of SharePoint online.

Get the current version of SharePoint online using Service cnf file :

To know the current version of SharePoint online we hit the “vti_pvt/service.cnf” page => <My SharePoint online site URL >/_vti_pvt/service.cnf It shows following result:
