No better way to know/check...by the way, you can directly try modern site creation by typing the following Url in your browser: https://<YourTenant>.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/creategroup.aspx

I actually just noticed in our admin settings that the section for "Site Creation" has changed. It now shows the option to create "A site with an Office 365 group or classic site", "A site with an Office 365 group", or "A classic site." So it seems like our environment has been updated.

However, I created a site from the homepage, and it did not create a group. We have the create "A site with an Office 365 group or classic site" option chosen, but I was not prompted with anything when I created the site.

Does this mean that it's not completely rolled out to us yet?
