Saw this as well. And i noticed commands in CLI for office365 as well to register hub sites.

I think it will be for SharePoint Admins only in the admin center. but this is just guessing as i have not seen it yet. I am checking every day now in the hope i see a change :)

I was able to activate a Hub site via PowerShell (thanks to a tip from @Michel Verwijmeren).
I used the Register-SPOHubSite & Add-SPOHubSiteAssociation cmdlets to see the new hub sites feature in action on my Targeted Release tenant :)

@John Wynne, you are right.
I don't see all the functionality of hub sites either. I am missing navigation, combined site activities and scoped search.

Very exciting. As mentioned further up, Hub Site CLI commands are up in documentation. Register-SPOHubSite worked for me and Get-SPOHubSite verified the conversion, however Add-SPOHubSiteAssociation isn't recognized just yet interestingly.
Still toying around to see if Set-SPOHubSite will effect any visible change.

One visual change I do see on a associated site is a message in the change the look settings menu that it is connected to a hub site :)
Hopefully in the next few weeks we are getting the rest of the functionality.

I've managed to run the Powershell command to convert to a Hub site, here:
Says that I should then be able to go to a site and associate it with a hub site in the UI under Site Information, but I still don't have that option. Is there something else I need to do apart from be patient?
Thanks...
John

@Ivan Unger thanks for you reply.
The scoped search is also working on the Targeted Release tenant, great! :)

I'm able to register hubsites and associate sites via powershell on my tenant.
However I'm not seeing anything on SharePoint reflecting this.
Waiting, waiting ;)
