SharePoint "Modern" user interface experience for all sites
We want to convert all SharePoint Online sites from Classic to Modern interface and for that , we have already run "SharePoint.UIExperience.Scanner". Now, we see multiple issues with thousands of sites/lists/libraries. Is there any other tool available which can remediate those issue ?
there is no remediation tools available out there. Did you look at these articles?

We can expect a PnP module for this, if this is a really pressing issue. However, the second article in there has a PS which will convert classic to modern pages. Help me understand this, apart from setting the site experience to modern and creating a new modern site page, is there anything else am I missing in regards to modern ui? I mean you can add O365 groups with classic sites too. What else are you looking for if thats all about remediation?

Thanks Rajeev for the response !!
So, the issue is ; I ran "SharePoint.UIExperience.Scanner" and got results for all SPO sites for my company's tenant . In the generated report, I see below issues for thousands of sites/lists/pages :
Blocked by not being able to load page (Undefined)
Blocked by JSLink
Blocked by XslLink
Blocked by Xsl
Blocked by JSLink field
Blocked by task outcome field
Blocked by publishingFieldIt's time consuming to find and remove issues one by one and hence ; I was looking for a tool which can take care of above in one go .
- Are these publishing sites? If so do you see this issue with non publishing sites? What do you do to fix the issue? Any custom apps or master pages? If you can isolate it further more, may be come up with a CSOM which will help you to rest the pages, resolve the issues. I researched a little on this and there are no tools or easiest way to handle this. In fact most of the SP version upgrades have some issues and these are no exceptional. May be you can come up with an automated script or give me more details and I will see what I can do.
