ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pages
Mark-Kashman with respect to customizing the site URL mentioned in the comments of the blog post, this is not quite "vanity" per se, but a desire to keep the URLs tidy. Even when the sites are standalone and not in a site structure (where 256 path names make short URLs very important).
e.g. Team Name is Emerging Technologies and Social Collaboration
They may want the URL to be "emsc"
At least group URLs don't include @%20 in the URLs. That's a super (long-overdue) positive step for sure.
Great news. Could someone please clarify if and how the root SharePoint Site Collection (domain.sharepoint.com) will be affected by this, for example if its still untouched?
Will this also get group features?
Untouched, and we are working on a plan for bringing groups to existing team sites, and this would be optional.
