Following Capability in Modern Sites
MicrosoftWe already have the ability to "Follow" sites. Look for the "STAR" icon in the top right side of any site. Recently we have introduced a concept of "Save for Later" on the web - its a quick way to collect and get to pages/news. See this post. If you are using the SharePoint mobile app, you can also Save documents for later, on top of pages/news. See this post
You can always manage your Saved items or Followed sites from SharePoint home - the SharePoint landing page when you click on the SharePoint tile in the Suite Nav menu or from Office.com homepage.
At this point, we don't have an ability to "follow" people in the SharePoint modern experiences. Would love to hear about your thoughts on this.

I missed the "star" in the site ^-^...but you cannot follow documents any more...The gesture on documents, pages, news (leaf nodes basically) is called Save for Later.
- Mmm...I'm aware of this option for pages, but not for documents...when can we expect this feature in documents? By the way, "following" a document and "save for later" is not the same idea

What about classic "following" documents experience do you like/expect ?
Today, you can Save for later documents from the SP mobile app. See this post. We are just rolling out Saving pages/news in the web. We will expand to more entry points and Save for later abilities over time (and based on customer feedback as well)
