What we can do to have our root site collection as a communication modern site
Hello john john
I would be inclined to use the root site collection with a redirect page to a communication site in /sites. When the Set "Communication Site" as Root site collection feature is complete I would convert the root site collection to a communication site and then migrate the communication site content (from /sites) to the root.
Make sense?
I hope this helps.

Norman Youngthanks a lot for your reply.
So are you trying to say the following:-
1. Keep the root classic team site collection as-is. and then create a communication site under "https://ourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/IntranetABC/" to act as a temp root site? .
2. once the "Set "Communication Site as Root site collection" feature become available.. i can migrate the content from the "https://ourtenant.sharepoint.com/sites/IntranetABC/" to the root? not sure when we should expect this feature to be available?
Thanks

Hi john john
Yes that is what I was getting at. The value to the customer is the root URL and the modern communication site experience. The value to you is developing the communication site once using the modern experience. Migrating the communication site content can happen down the road when Set "Communication Site" as Root site collection is rolled out.

Mark-Kashmannone of your recent RoadMap Pitstop posts have mentioned this long overdue feature. Can you PLEASE provide us a status update. The silence on this much needed feature is frustrating.
