Are you still experiencing this behavior? The main reason the Site tab would have redirected to the doclib in SP is because the 'Groups get sites' flight was still being rolled out. Should be working for all FR users/tenants now. Please let us know if this is not the case.

    I am still getting this. A new group created today and most of our old groups still do this. I have managed to get one group to point to the right home page but I really don't now how I did that. All the others stay pointing to documents when you choose Home. 

     

    We have first release on for just a selection of users. This is the only thing I can think of - the group that works contains only First Release people. All the others do not. Having said that, there's another group I just created that does only contain First Release people, and this still behaves wrong. So it's not as simple as I thought.

      Looks better now when creating a new site but there is still some missmatch when clicking on "Websitecontent".

      Navigation on the left is just pointing to groups, but nothing SharePoint related.

    I suspect some of the issues lie in the fact that we have "modern" features turned off in the SP Admin Center. What I am finding is if I manually go to the doc lib of the Group, and set it to force use the "New Experience", the link starts working as expected. Otherwise, it is hit and miss.
