Reach your audience via SharePoint communication sites in Office 365

Hi Dennis,

All great feedback, with some feedback on your feedback. Like a good techno-charged song, we're entering the feedback loop. Let's rock it!

• Yes, all will come to team sites as well. Section layouts, reordering and all new web parts go equally to team and communication sites. You won't see them until communication sites are turned on for your tenant - per your chosen release program and our phased rollout approach. 
• Team is addressing a number of usability components, somet differing per the various browsers/platform. We'll ensure this one is noted.
• Hero web part layering means stacking on top of each other - the default look and feel if you select the Showcase site design. Naming feedback taken.
• I believe the Hero web part only works in the full-widht or single column layout. More here on Hero: ttps://support.office.com/en-us/article/Use-the-Hero-web-part-d57f449b-19a0-4b0d-8ce3-be5866430645?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#bkmk_commsites 
• We're just getting started on the Events web part - which as you noted is a start on making it more modern against a SharePoint list.
• Image gallery is a great area for growth - to enable visual options and nice interactivity for visitors.
• And Forms are default for the forms created for lists by default.

All great feedback as not ed above. And CC'ing John_Sanders per any web part feedback above; he's always listening and the team wants Web Parts to be top notched, used and useful :-).

Last, here's a copy/paste of all communication sites links to read more:
