Office 365 Groups - Home Pages on Sharepoint

Hi,

 

I'm seeing some odd behaviour around creating groups and the modern sites which sees to have partially rolled out to me and wondering if anyone can shed some light on it?

 

On one of our existing groups when I click the tile/card in SharePoint it takes me to the groups Home Page, which is where I would expect it to take me. The URL shows https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/hantshose-em/SitePages/Home.aspx

 

On groups I've created recently clicking on the SharePoint tile takes me to the documents folder here's an example:-

https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/i-transportdemo/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx

Any ideas how I can get the I-Transport Demo group (and others) to show the Home page from the tile. I can manually get to it by pasting the URL into the browser as shown below but obviously that won't work for end users.
https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/i-transportdemo/SitePages/Home.aspx

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi everyone, as many of you suspect, the reason you don't yet see a redirection to the 'Home' page for the group's site is because the rollout for 'Groups get sites' is not yet complete.  We haven't done anything to explicitly hide the home page, which is why you can type the URL directly into the browser and see it currently.  Once we have rolled out the feature WW, the home page will be available and navigable by default for all group sites.
