ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pages
This is great news. I just want to know the following, as I tweeted at Jeff Teper earlier.
Hey https://twitter.com/jeffteper/ when the full rollout of modern team sites occurs, will there be any difference between a previous SP Team Site + New Group?
MicrosoftJoe, are you asking if if all team sites that exist today will end up looking like brand new team site + groups provisioned in the new way?
We won’t ever replace your existing customized classic pages with modern pages. We want to offer the new homepage as an option, especially for team sites that haven’t customized their homepage. We don’t have a plan for “upgrading” or “converting” classic pages with classic web parts into modern pages – that’s upgrading content and is basically impossible. You can always create a modern page inside any team site, put the Quick links and Activity web parts on it, and enjoy the benefits of the new homepage :)
"Modern team sites” aren't a radically new thing. They’re just team sites, with more and more of the apps inside sporting new modern experiences – homepage, pages, documents, lists, site contents, and more coming. Every team site that exists today is a “modern team site” because of the modern experiences we’ve already shipped.
