Way to convert existing site to modern team site UI?
The new modern team site home page looks great and new team sites get to use it. How about existing sites? Is there a way for a site owner to convert their site (especially the home page) to the mo...
I'd also like to see that powershell script :P
But yeah, basically create a new modern page, add the webparts manually and save it as homepage.
Only difference I've noticed is that, currently unchangable, banner behind the page title. This banner does not existing in Office 365 Group Team Sites (page title is almost directly below the action bar [+NEW, ...]) where as in manually created modern pages, there is a large gap between the action bar and the page title.
Does anyone know a way around this?
I just copied the default home.aspx from a new group-site to my old site. Seems to work fine to avoid the large top-banner for now.
Hey Eric
I tried to do the same. I copied the site page> Home.aspx from O365 Group and uploaded it on another Normal SPO Site. But its giving error of "No ComponentID"Did i miss anything?
Hi,
I´m getting the same error here now so something has changed. But now you can easily create modern pages in any site by going to Site Pages and clicking new -> Site page. The best way I know of today if you want to remove the banner is changing the PageLayout as suggested by Aaron Shropshire works great.
1. Create a new Web Site page in your SitePages library (The site feature "Site Pages" needs to be enabled)
2. Use SP Designer or any other editor to modify the page and change
<mso:PageLayoutType msdt:dt="string">Article</mso:PageLayoutType> to
<mso:PageLayoutType msdt:dt="string">Home</mso:PageLayoutType>

How did you do this? Did you do it on SharePoint Online?
