PROBLEM STATEMENT:

How Can I Manage SharePoint External Sharing

SOLUTION:

One can manage SharePoint External Sharing settings from SharePoint Admin Center and from CoreView Portal.

USING ADMIN CENTER:

You must be a Global Administrator or SharePoint Administrator in Microsoft 365 to change the sharing settings for a site (previously called a "site collection"). Site owners aren't allowed to change these settings.

To change the external sharing setting:

Go to Active sites in the new SharePoint admin center, and sign in with an account that has admin permissions for your organization.

In the left column, select a site.
Select Sharing on the command bar.
Select an external sharing option

If you want to limit the sharing of this site by domain, select the Limit sharing by domain check box by expanding Advanced settings for external sharing, and add the domains that you want to allow or block.

If you want to change the default sharing link type or permissions for this site, clear the Same as organization-level setting check boxes and set the values that you want to use for this site.

Select Save.
