Modernize - Classic to Modern - Any PowerShell to update List Experience programatically?

Hi community,


As the title suggests - I've run through the steps in this article Modernize your classic SharePoint sites however this doesn't cover lists/libraries that were previously created in classic. 

 

I know this can be updated manually on an individual library basis via Library Settings > Advanced Settings > List Experience but is there any available powershell (or plan for this) to do this programatically? (I couldn't see anything in pnp-powershell docs) I have a customer with large sites with hundreds of lists and libraries and would like to automate this process to get them all modernized.

 

Many thanks

    You can do it programmatically using PnP.

    Set-PnPList has a parameter that lets you set the list experience. Simply write a foreach loop that cycles through site collections, sires and lists and enables new experience.

    You can also switch it on via SharePoint Admin Center too.
