Rollout of Modern Pages to First Release Full Org
- We've rolled out to 10% of First Release tenants so far, and the plan is to go to 50% today. We're still doing some final analysis of the roll out data, and I'll update you all when we do expand the ring.
looks like we're in the lucky 50%, plus I've had some access by a selected FR dev tenant so feedback as requested:-
+ Very positive move overall
+ Good editing experience
+ Responsive
+ SharePoint framework
+ Nice UI
+ Document & content embed parts offer good flexibility (Forms needs to be embeddable)
+ Simple autosave and publish
+ Page and document previews in quick links
- Page banner far to big. Text starts halfway down the page!
- Needs ability to rearrange web parts like you can in Sway
- Branding options needed, especially with regards to the default, fixed header image
- quick links needs list view as well as tile view. A way of creating multiple lists is also needed as navigation options are limited. Ability to easily select pages when adding quick link
- Ability to have individual document libraries as a type in highlighted content
You could try signing up to a free(for a year) dev tenant (http://dev.office.com/devprogram) and setting the user to selective FR. Via that I had earlier access than the main site but I doubt it will be long before you get it.
In terms of testing I think it gives a message when navigating to sharepoint, otherwise:
Try selcting the gear icon in any sharepoint site you have write access to and go to "new page". On the old system it will ask you for a filename wheras on the new it will immediatley create a blank page of the new "Site Pages" type.
Also if you look in any sites', "site pages" library the new page icon is a dropdown instead of the ""+".
Great- thank you so much!
