Will changing the Default Library and List experience affect existing sites?
My company has acquired another company that was using SharePoint Online prior to the acquisition. Some of their libraries and lists are in the classic experience and they do not want to change them ...
It will only change the lists/ libraries that have not had that setting touched. So by default it's set to the "Tenant Default" or whatever it says, So unless someone went in all those sits that dont' want the new setting and changed it manually to classic mode, changing the default will change everyone's setting.

So if there are (lists and libraries) that do not want to be moved over. I can go in and set them to the classic experience by hand. And in addition, I can use the PowerShell commands to keep entire Sites and Site Collections on classic.
Then when I change the Default in the SharePoint Admin Settings those sites will stay classic because they are no longer 'Tenant Default'?
Am I understanding that correctly?
- Thank you.
- Correct!
- Yes, the default will only affect things set to use the default setting and new items created going forward.
