MicrosoftUpdate: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries

Hi Michael - this feature is working great for new document sets content types (for new libraries), but how do we reset the welcome page for document sets in previously existing libraries? Or, is there a separate flag that can be set to always display in modern view regardless of the previous welcome page settings (we removed the icon and document set properties from the display as it took up too much screen space).
The time it takes to navigate into the modern document set is definitely less than the time it took to open a new browser tab to navigate into the classic view document set - awesome. Just need to apply to all document sets for older libraries! Thank you for the continuous feedback and improvements.
MarkBullard Hi Mark - thanks for the great feedback! We don't currently have a setting to force document sets into the new experience even when their welcome pages are customized. You can effectively "uncustomize" the welcome page by adding the missing parts back into the page. You'll need to go back to classic mode to access the welcome page, but then you should be able to Edit Page and Insert the missing web parts.
Hi Michael - your suggestion to manually reset the zone 1-3 web parts was perfect and the modern document sets are working great (and quickly) - thank you! A low priority feature request might be a way to quickly reset the Welcome Page or perhaps guidance to users that, upon edit of the Welcome Page away from the default, the modern experience won't be displayed (since they might not navigate to this thread for the solution).
On a related note, the ability to adjust views once inside a document set, now possible with the modern experience, is going to be a major blessing for our users that like to toggle between grouped and ungrouped views (with ungrouped views required for quick edit). Awesome work by MSFT to get this rolled out to everyone.
