Published On : May 16, 2018
In SharePoint Online, Default sharing link types and Default sharing link permissions are now available to be customized per site collection. We’ve begun rolling this out now, and it will be available worldwide by the end of June. While our goal is to ensure we notify you in advance of upcoming changes, we acknowledge we did not provide timely notice for this change. We will continue to look for ways to improve our notifications. This message is associated with Office 365 Roadmap ID 30568.
How does this affect me?
You can now configure the default link type and default link permission for your users in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. With this change, you may now further customize the default sharing settings on a per site collection basis. These settings may be set via the classic SharePoint admin center or viaSharePoint Online Management Shell.
What do I need to do to prepare for this change?
There is nothing you need to do to prepare for this change. Please click Additional Information to learn more.
Does it also apply to sites that are derived from groups?
I could modify it for SharePoint sites but I couldn't find a place to modify for group sites.
Please advise thank you :)

Slight correction: You can enable/disable external sharing in the modern admin center but you cannot (yet) set the new per-Site default there.
For now, you can use classic SPO admin for setting the default sharing setting on classic sites & PowerShell for group-connected sites.
Thanks!
