Hi Awake, you need to give some more info are you on first release tenant? If yes create a new site collection and new site you will get a new modern experience. It could also be that you admin puted it on classic by default than it is not possible

    Modern Team Sites are not fully released yet...rollout started last week for First Release but it's not completed...from my experience, I still don't have modern team sites on at least two of my tenants (the ones I use to check on a daily basis)

      Hi Juan. When the rollout is completed, will pre-existing Team Sites become "Modern", or only the new Team Sites will be "Modern"? TIA

        Hi everyone! Thanks for the interest in this area! I just wanted to chime in to reiterate a few of the previous replies and hopefully clarify any confusion around the recent MC post and rollout of this feature.

         

        First Release for the new self-service site creation flow from SharePoint Home will start this week. This means it will take some time before it reaches all FR customers, so be patient! This will be the complementary UX (along w/ other details described in this blog post: https://blogs.office.com/2016/11/08/create-connected-sharepoint-online-team-sites-in-seconds/) to the admin settings - which HAS already been rolled out 100% to FR customers.

         

        We rolled out the admin UI early so admins could review the available settings and make any updates prior to the UX being available. For details on these settings, check out this help article (also available from the MC post published last week announcing this change): https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-site-creation-in-SharePoint-Online-e72844a3-0171-47c9-befb-e98b23e2dcf9?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

         

        Salvatore Biscari - actually both! Sort of. What I mean is existing sites are getting a lot of these modern experiences (you can see it already in lists and libraries and site contents page). You'll soon be able to create modern pages and make those the home pages of your existing team sites. But this release will only attach an Office 365 group to a newly created site (via the new provision flow). Upgrading (or "groupifying") a classic team site is something in our backlog that we're looking at, but isn't available yet.

         

        HTH!

        Sean
