Today marks the beginning of bringing the full power of SharePoint to Office 365 Groups, with additional benefits to SharePoint Online all up! New and existing groups will get modern team sites, which come with an updated Home page, the ability to pin items within the new Quick links web part, and to see what's going on in the site via the new Activity web part.
These team sites within Office 365 Groups, and existing team sites throughout SharePoint Online, will also have the ability to create publishing pages - fast, easy to author pages that support rich multimedia content, and look great on mobile browsers and via the SharePoint mobile app. Get ready to communicate and share your ideas within SharePoint like never before.
Additionally, Microsoft will increase the site collection limit in SharePoint Online to "up to 25TB" (previously "up to 1TB); this will be refelcted in an update to the official "SharePoint Online boundaries and limits" support article.
Please review the associated blog on blogs.office.com, "New capabilities in SharePoint Online team sites including integration with Office 365 Groups" with numerous links to new and updated support.office.com articles.
Let us know what you think,

I think it depends on where it's your tenant and how Microsoft is doing the rollout in terms of rollout speed

A few years back we ran a project where the goal was to have one corporate intranet to avoid having information silos by closing down local solutions as well as making a clear distinction between Team Sites (work in progress and collaboration area for ongoing work with many contributors) and Publishing Pages (ready and quality assured information handled by one responsible editor arranged in a strict navigation hierarchy).
With this announcement the border between Team Sites and Publishing Pages is getting blurry. What's the thoughts from Microsoft and the rest of the community how to tackle information architecture, governance, etc. to avoid creating silos?
To my understanding this is positioned with a lot of freedom for the individual and each Group/Site owner can basically create their own local intranet which also might be restricted to a specific group of users.
So, what's your thoughts?

Is this feature available to anyone yet? I would really like to try it out in our first release developer tenant: https://ahsdev.sharepoint.com
To me it should be easier to get the updated features for modern team sites. I think it would be wise to follow the example of the Android beta program. https://www.google.com/android/beta When I opted into the Android beta program, immediately I got a push notification to update to the beta version of Android. It should be that easy for a developer/testing tenant to update to the latest SharePoint feature such as these new modern team sites.

Maybe this "misunderstanding" can be avoided as soon as you present the roadmap for "real" publishing pages and portals. When can we expect news on this front? 1,5 year ago you guys invested in a lot of energy around Next Gen Portals. It really looked promising! Can we now look forward to a comeback for Next Gen Portals, but based on the Sharepoint Framework?

Does that then mean I can now add specific Users within my Tennant to have the features available to?

Thank you!
I can now create new page using the modern authoring canvas ... Will be testing this arvo.
However, is it expected behavior that I still cannot access 'Site Settings' or ' Site contents' from the cog? (it loop back to the Shared Document Folder)
