Rollout of Modern Pages to First Release Full Org

@davecohen Any update on progress of rolling out Modern Pages to FR Full org please? I've managed to sample via Select Users just keen to know current status. Thanks!
  • We've rolled out to 10% of First Release tenants so far, and the plan is to go to 50% today. We're still doing some final analysis of the roll out data, and I'll update you all when we do expand the ring.

       We're on early or first release and have yet to see Modern Pages. However, when I create a 'New Page' I see the modern pages and it creates a modern page. What happens or will happen to my existing pages? Will they be "converted"? Thank you in advance,

        AFAIK classic pages will not be automatically converted into modern page. Currently when a site is created through the SPO administration page, the home page is created as classic page and no Office 365 groups are created. But when you create a site using SharePoint Home page, then modern home page and office group is created. This is something which can cause confusion and inconsistency. Hope this will be made consistent some time soon

      I have noticed an issue that has started recently.  The icon background color is different from the site color on the SharePoint dashboard. See pics

        Thanks!

      Hey everyone,

      We held off expanding the ring yesterday due to a late issue we needed to investigate. It turned out to be a false alarm, and we're in the process of expanding the release ring to 50% of First Release tenants now. Thanks for your feedback, as always.

  • Also still waiting. Can anyone confirm if FR EDU tenants will be included?

    We're also still waiting for this.

    Last known official report (or goal) that I'm aware of is 10% of full tentant FR for last week.

    Guess we're not part of that 10%.
