Linking an existing Team Site to the Group

Question

Hi.&nbsp;I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no, but can an existing team site be linked to a newly created group. We already already have a team site, so don't need a new one. Can the Group be configured so when you click Site in the top nav bar you are taken to that existing site.&nbsp;Thanks.

This feature is announced recently, but yet to be rolled out. More details here:&nbsp;https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint-Blog/Personalize-team-sites-in-Office-365-and-amplify-teamwork-using/ba-p/70082
&nbsp;
Look for the section: "Connect existing team sites to Office 365 Groups"

Bummer that my link didn't work right, it's just an Ignite recording that runs through the topic at hand. The blog that&nbsp;Deleted&nbsp;posted hits the mark - Thank you Paul!&nbsp;&nbsp;

At this time existing sites cannot be linked to a group. It is on the roadmap that existing SharePoint site collections will be able to add on an Office 365 Group. I included a slide and a link to a presentation from Ignite on this thread which goes through the future phases of integration.

Today it is not possible. Probably the ability to "groupify" a team site (i.e. a procedure to attach a Group to existing team sites) will be added later.

Give a look to this thread: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/SharePoint-online-Modern-teamsites/td-p/29775
