Communication Sites rollout to 100% of First Release customers completed

For those that haven't heard the news, I thought this was worth posting asap - Communication Sites as well as the new pages and web parts experiences, are now available to everyone in First Release.  This also includes tenant wide First Release! Great job guys, this is awesome.

    It's the 26th and I still cannot see the create communication sites button in Sharepoint. I added myself to the first release track over 2 weeks ago it's just me and one other person. I've also adjusted settings in Sharepoint to allow for site creation and if they have finally rolled out 100% then I am still unable to see and test these features. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'm missing something?

    Thanks, Manny

      Have you tried creating one from OneDrive? - Clicking the plus symbol against your organisation's name?

    Love everything about communications sites for what it is currently.

    Though the way it's been rolled out has left a bad taste in my mouth... which I hope the Office 365 product team addresses the way first release is used in the future. My main bug is that this is a first release feature, that everyone has access to, but a non-first release user gets a broken experience, if they can access it at they should get the full proper experience....
