Easiest way to get the GUID of SharePoint feature

While writing a blog about Introduction to SharePoint Spaces, I came across a situation where I needed the GUID of site feature to activate it using PnP PowerShell. So, I thought of writing a separate blog on quickly getting the GUID of site feature in SharePoint Online.

You can get the GUID of site feature quickly from Manage site features page. Hit (URL: https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/siteName/_layouts/ManageFeatures.aspx) in a browser tab by replacing tenant and siteName or follow below steps:

1. Go to any SharePoint Online site.
2. Click on Settings (gear icon), select Site information and then select View all site settings.
3. On the Site settings page, select Manage site features under Site Actions.
4. Scroll down to the feature whose GUID you want, Right click on Activate button next to it and select Inspect element.
5. Check id attribute of immediate parent div of input (type="button") element, which is nothing but the GUID of respective site feature.
