Thanks for update. I can still see only the classic welcome page. So, probably my tenant has not been updated (despite the June update is finished).  When will be all tenants updated? How can I arrange my tenant to be updated immediately?

Thank you

David

    Hi guys

     

    Has there been any further news or developments on the wider release of modern document sets?

     

    I'm actually in a targeted release, but still only see classic view.

     

    I appreciate that the delay is beyond your control, but an update would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi guys

       

      I'm following up again on an update to the wider release of modern document sets. Again, I understand the delays are beyond your control, but if you can provide any further information I'm sure we'd all grateful.

       

      Delays happen, that's inevitable, but from a customer perspective we've been advised of a March rollout, then May, and now we're approaching mid-July with no word of a wider release. 

       

      Is there anything more you can tell us?

    Dear Michael,

    as I can understand, MS has been doing its best with modern document sets over two years (as fast as it could). The functionality is changing somehow under hands. What worked some time, doesn't work now. 

     

    First, probably worked this: https://mnaveedblog.wordpress.com/2018/09/19/enable-modern-sharepoint-view-for-a-document-set-in-sharepoint-online/

    Then, modern doc sets worked for all of us (yippee!)

    Now, doesn't work anything, and the mixed user experience is terrible, horrible, as many users in this forum complain about.

     

    I'm sorry, Michael, but in the light of this, your unspecific answer that "MS is hoping to include more tenants soon", is not satisfactory.

    What is soon? Days, weeks, months, years? 

     

    Thank you in advance for more specific information.

    Michael_Silverstein Thank you for the update. Is it possible that you add our tenant (EBNBV) to the list of Modern Document Set tenants without being a targeted release tenant?

    Thank you in advance!

      JustSpoor  We're moving this forward as fast as we can.  Unfortunately, we can't accommodate your request to jump ahead.

        LincolnDeMaris, Can you confirm If I have to enable any feature for Modern Document Set. As I can see Modern Document Set is available on Teams Site and Group Site, however same in not available under regular SharePoint site. Since I can see Modern Document Set in Teams site, I can understand that it is available under my tenant. But I am not quite sure how to use it under regular SharePoint site with Modern Library.
