New Groups creation experience has arrived to my tenant
All,
Today I have discovered in one of my tenants that I have a new experience for creating Groups there...It might happen that It has been there for some days, but I have discovered it Today. Currently it's possible to create 4 Group Types: Standard group; Project Group; Organizational Group; Interest Group.

This is an experiment we are currently running to learn about group personas. The personas are not tied to templates nor specific settings at this stage.- Bruce WeatherfordBrass Contributor
Will thre be some sort of notification when the templates are finalized so that we can understand the implementation differences?
- What are the implications of the experiment? Is this a feature to stay or to be removed once the experiment ends?

none at this stage.
- SanthoshB1Bronze ContributorIs this change something related to this Ignite session?

It's definitely related to this rollout Santhosh, it's the odd navigation issues we're encountering with the rollout.
- So for now, we could say that this new feature is more oriented to use cases for Groups, isn't it?

Hi, we have it in one of our tenants to - not sure still if it's only a classification of the group or if it's actually provision them with different features?
Have you compared them and found any differences?

I've tested the PLC group option (I work at a school) and there are 2 differences:
- The privacy by default in a regular group is public and in PLC is private
- The OneNote created for the group has a lot of content in the PLC group.
That is about it :)
- I am no longer seeing this experience in my tenant.
- Yeap and not seeing any difference between choosing one option or another...Group features seems to be the same

Same here, all group types seem to create the same content.
