This is amazing. But our message centre post says it's expected to rollout by end of July and the post hasn't been updated and it's mid-August 🧐 We now have people on our tenant who can use the feature but it doesn't display for others. As people are using the section titles it leads to confusion for people that can't view them on published pages. I've opened a support ticket but told "it may take a few months" to fully rollout. Why do Microsoft keep putting out overzealous dates, which keep making it difficult to plan adoption and change activity 😠

    Hi James,

    I can understand your frustration, I did some research on it. Microsft rolls out new features under 'Target Release' and upon 'positive feedback' from users, they make the roll-out as 'Standard Release'.

    In Office 365, there are three setting options to choose from:
    1) Standard Release for everone- Usually this is the default option.
    2) Targeted Release for everyone- if this option is chosen, then all the users in your organisation will be part of the new target release under office 365.
    3) Target Release for selected users- only selected users will be part of the target release, in this instance Collapsible section.

    Note: Sharepoint Admin can change the setting option as per the above three options. However, the Second option 'Target Release for everyone' will have some unprecedented risks.

    I hope this was helpful, Let me know your thoughts.

      Note the MC post has been updated yesterday, coincidently the same day I provided feedback on it, with a delay and is now expected to land in late September. I'm also pretty sure clarification to targeted release was added with "select users and organization." I'm a select user and originally had assumed this sort of feature would be only organisation, because the section headers don't display for everyone else.

        Update from Microsoft: While in Targeted Release we received valuable feedback around the behavior of anchor links when used in collapsible sections as well as some formatting issues experienced by users of right-to-left languages. We feel that both of these issues are important for us to address prior to making the feature generally available. We are actively addressing these issues now and expect the solution to reach General Availability with all fixes in place by the end of September 2021. Thank you for your patience.
