About custom script feature

Custom script feature enables your site owners to change the look & feel of SharePoint sites by applying custom styles (using CSS and HTML), change client side functionality by using JavaScript code etc. and much more. This feature can only be allowed by SharePoint administrators or Global Administrators of your tenant and can be enable or disabled using below PowerShell commands.

To allow custom script on SharePoint sites:

Set-SPOSite <yoursiteurl> -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0

To prevent custom script on SharePoint sites:

Set-SPOSite <yoursiteurl> -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 1

In addition to this, you can allow or prevent the custom script setting using classic settings page (see below)
