Rollout of Modern Pages to First Release Full Org
@davecohen Any update on progress of rolling out Modern Pages to FR Full org please? I've managed to sample via Select Users just keen to know current status. Thanks!
- 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.
Is there any way to test this before it gets rolled out to us? I'm an "individual" in FR (there are a few of us, but the whole company is not). I'd love to be able to see what's possible and how it works, but I feel like I just keep checking every day to see if I have it. Any help would be appreciated! I'd love to test it out *somewhere* or be notified when it hits for my FR account. Checking every day is kind of a pain, and I don't even know exactly where/how to check. I keep creating test subsites using the team site template, and it's still the old one. If anyone can provide some guidance for me, I'd appreciate it! I have to stay on top of this stuff so I can notify staff before it's rolled out to them...
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!
