SharePoint sites: view and apply site designs from within site | We are providing a new site setting to view any applied site designs and apply additional ones – from within the sites themselves.

Only site owners and site collection administrators have access to invoke this panel – and it respects any additional scopes on the published site designs, so only those available to the viewer will be displayed.
