This new feature is not showing to my tenant yet, even it is set to first release.

Question;

We have "Team" group, and basic sharepoint site "Team site".

If those are going to be integrated as one, what whould be the name?

"Team" group gets it's sharepoint site named "Team",

and "Team site" sharepoint site gets it's group named "Team site"?

And let's say, I have same name group and site, like "Idea" group, and "Idea" site.

Will they merged into same one? or having different naming policy?

little bit confusing here.

The group is exposing it's existing teamsite features, the sites name follows the name of the group. This feature doesn't merge existing SharePoint sites with existing groups.

Modern team sites are being rolled out gradually...and I'm pretty sure the kind of "merge" you are describing is not going to happen / be provided

  jcgonzalezmartin - yes I can understand now how that would not be feasible to "retro-fit" existing groups. Now I'm just trying to find an "identifiier" that will indicate that we have the new feature - ie something I can have our IT Team look for in the Admin Portal. Right now - I just keep trying to add a group - and see if I get the new Team Site. I'm just a Project Mgr/Power User - I don't have the technical background - so apologize if my questions seems stupid or silly.
  
  Thanks for your reply. I'll just keep reading and watching for posts on the subject.
