Project Online / SharePoint Modern UI

Are there any options for using the SharePoint modern UI with Project Online?  It would be nice to be able to utilize a modern page 1) on the PWA landing page, and 2) on the home page for each of the...

After over an year this is still relevant question but answers are missing.

 

It would be nice to hear how to modernize current classic Project Online project sites. And how to get  Teams connected to them. I can create Teams for my project and then O365 Group and SPO site will be provisioned but then PWA project site will be kind of an orphan. And then my project team has two Sharepoint sites - PWA project site and Teams connected Sharepoint site.

    Hi,

    I am going to answer the question however i work in Project Web App online.

    1. If you go to manage features in the PWA settings and activate Site Pages will give you the modern page option in PWA.

    2.  For Teams it is a bit of a work around. You need to create your Team as you normally would, delete the default site and then connect to the Project Site.

      Thanks Melody Shults for your comments! That "activating Site Pages" is definitely a workaround but I was hoping that PWA project sites, which are provisioned automatically with the project, would soon be modern. To avoid avoid manual interventions and get them O365 Group connected but I understand the PWA permission model is setting some limitations here.

      Melody Shults after activating Site Pages where do I find the modern page option? I cannot seem to locate any option that is different to the current look and feel under the 'change the look' setting.

      Thanks

        Sorry for the long delay in answering. However in you site pages library under new should show option for Site pages.

      This is very useful, as getting everything standardized in one place on sharepoint is something I'm currently working on. Can you please tell me how you "Connect to the project site?"
