How can I use a "modern" web part on a "classic" page?
I knew I could do that, but I'd already done significant formatting and design on the current home page, it just seems ridiculous that this page works differently.
- Well, I would not say it seems ridiculous, basically you have classic pages and modern pages....if you want to use modern pages, you have to re-do all the stuff...if you wan't to re-do all the stuff, just keep your current home page as it is
Totally agree. If Msft's argument is that there's a different "architecture" involved then this should have been developed differently so you can transition between old and new. In fact that argument is total bs - the same archaic platform is used and not to make a new front end view compatible with the current one is simply laziness or worse stupidity. I'm so tired of Msft transferring the cost of their poor design sense and amateurish approach onto paying customers. Google - please expedite your Sharepoint alternative so we can finally abandon what is probably the worst software ever made which just gets worse everyday.
To my knowledge, when creating a site in SharePoint, there is not yet a template available that includes a Modern page as the homepage--every site needs to have its homepage moved to a newly created Site Page to gain the Modern experience.
The Modern webparts aren't built to work with the old architecture, and while it's inconvenient that there's not a page transformation process from Classic to Modern aside from a rebuild, it is what it is.
