Modern team site - How to set Root Site Collection to modern Team Site
Hello,
in the SP Admin center I already set set the new experience. And if I create a new Site Collection the design gives my also the modern team sites.
But how can I set my root site collection to modern team sites? In this site collection I have the option to set every library to the new experience. I can not create modern team sites inside this site collection.
Maybe because I activate the publishing feature and use also Termstore Navigation?
Cheers
Jens
That's because of the publishing feature. I can create modern pages on any site as long as publishing is not active.
Thank you for your replies.
Both suggestions were also my guess as I describe in my first post. So I deactivated the publishing feature. My Navigation from my Termstore does not displayed anymore and all my libraries and lists changed back to classic design. (I've set them to mordern experience before). The option to create modern "Sites Page" still not an option from the sites pages library.
I deactivate the publishing feature and activate the Site Pages feature:
Then I open the site pages library:
Even though I set in my O365 to modern experience all my libraries and lists have the classic view.
So I manually set to modern experience in the library settings:
Of course the option to create a modern site page still not there but at least I've got the modern experience in this library.
Following questions remain open:
- So I can not use modern experience with publishing feature and also managed term store navigation?
- How can I use modern experience in my root site collection? (To create a mordern site page from the page library and set it as my startpage)
- I'm also seeing this and It could be intencional or just that someone forgot about it that we cannot create modern SPO pages in this root site collection
- So I can not use modern experience with publishing feature and also managed term store navigation?
- Creation of modern team sites from the SPO Landing Page is still in roll out in production so if you are not in First Release, that's probably the reason why you cannot create modern team sites yet
- Hi Juan,
I can create modern Teamsites. But only from any other Site Collection under Root.
How can I check that I'm inside the First Release?- You can check in the Office 365 Admin Portal: Configuration setion -> Organization profile -> Release preferences
