Has anybodys seen any new hint or actual release of the modern communication site?
Been looking since monday as there seems to be a target date of June 12th?
- Jun 13, 2017The target is End of Q2, so there is still time left.
The date June 12th I've only read concerning the update for managed metadata in the smartfilters pane.

So if Andy wrote that PST then 'tomorrow' is today, right? ;-)

well, the blog posts out for today with the announcement. Unfortunately my tenant is setup up for full tenant first release, and deployments always seem to start for select people first release.
- OldWarwickJun 27, 2017Bronze ContributorYeah I do find that strange, I'm yet to get and see any blog posts regarding how it works, but I'm assuming if one of the "Select First Release" users creates a comms site, all other users will be able to access and see it.
Maybe the Select First release, is being used so a smaller set of users will have access to create, but all can still access.- Chris McNultyJun 27, 2017Former Employee
Please be patient - there are multiple randomized rings of deployment for features as they move through First Release and general release. In other words, features going to First Release don't go to all First Release tenants on the same day, but are usually phased over a few weeks.
That said, here's today's post: https://blogs.office.com/2017/06/27/sharepoint-communication-sites-begin-rollout-to-office-365-customers/

All good, thanks for the update. Was mainly querying the Select First release, I would have figured a Entire First release tenant would be a smaller set of users, though in reality I have no idea what's involved in the back-end to roll this out.
