Hi Sean. Thanks for your answer.
I have some questions:
- If I understand you well, newly created team sites (via the new provision flow), will automatically get an attached O365 Group. Will this be mandatory or, at the moment of creation of a team site, it will be possible to opt for having an attached Group or not?
- If I understand you well, existing team sites will not get automatically an attached Group. Probably this ability to "groupify" the team site (i.e. a procedure to attach a Group to existing team sites) will be added later. Am I correct?
- Existing team sites will get (and indeed they are already getting) some "modern experiences", but they will not get automatically a modern homepage. Nevertheless, we will be able soon to create manually modern homepages for them, i.e. to manually "modernize" existing team sites. Am I correct?
TIA.

Nov 19, 2016Of course, Salvatore Biscari. To your other questions:
- Correct; for the new experience, we currently default create a group-connected modern team site. We are working on providing additional templates/options in the future. To create a non-group connected site you'd need to create programatically or via tenant admin.
- Correct; and an option we're actively evaluating (no ETA yet, but certainly a scenario high on the list to support in some fashion).
- Also correct - and, in fact, a recommended path to "modernizing" a classic site. You will be able to create a modern page and then from the pages library select it and set as the home page.
HTH, Sean
- Pedro Pablo Díaz ArguelloMay 05, 2017Copper ContributorHey Sean, I know it has been some time, but I still cannot find a way to create a modern homepage in an old sitecollection. Yeah, i can create modern pages and update lists to modern experience too, but i cant find how to get that pretty groups homepage.
Any updates on that?
