Way to convert existing site to modern team site UI?
Is it possible to change the look and feel of a normal (in our case - home)-page in the new UI? I found this url, but actually do not know how to start...

When creating a new page I do not have the option to create a new UI page.
Found mine have automatically switched. If I click on the cog in top right then hit "Add a Page" new UI one is automatically brought up.
Have done that for the time being on some newer team sites, along with switching the experience for doccument libraries and lists.
Still would love the other bits and pieces that come with modern UI, I remember seeing a powershell script for it a while back that can change it at the site collection level but can't find it anywhere. If anyone has it please do post, would be much appreciated!
And how about the other way around? The 'new' Team sites get automatically created when you create a 'team' group in MS Teams (as ...sharepoint.com/sites/... ) - these already have document library, calendar, etc. Can I simply convert these into a "classic" SharePoint site (as ...sharepoint.com/SitePages/... )??
I belive if you set a classic page (in the SitePages library, create a new Classic Page if necessary) as the homepage in a Group site it will get you essentially that. You'll still get the modern view by default when browsing site contents or an app view but you can also toggle that with the Switch to Classic button.
