Rollout of SharePoint Communication Sites to First Release?
- It is June, and they are coming soon. We can't tell you exactly when, and the update to Filter Panes is a little different scale than introducing communication sites. We're on the final mile of QA and things are looking good. Mr. McNulty set a nice bar, and we'll be clear as to making noise before they come to FR; covers a lot of my to do's this coming month - to launch comm sites so they cannot be missed :-).
As Mark pointed out in his reply, communication sites is a very large combination of features spanning across pages, web parts, new site prov and the communication site experiences overall. Our team has been working really hard to get this rolling out and we have a build now that we are doing our final validation on in order to start the rollout process.
As some of you may have seen we posted on Message Center yesterday, and we plan to begin rollout next week to the First Release Select Users program. On our current schedule (always subject to change) we plan to expand from there to 10% of the First Release program after the U.S. 4th of July holiday.
I use my @andyhaon account on Twitter to provide updates on capabilities we're rolling out in SharePoint Online, and will post there as we expand the rings that we are rolled out to. We're really excited to get this out to customers and to get your feedback.
