Today Microsoft begin
bringing SharePoint team sites to Office 365 Groups. Both existing and new
groups will now get a SharePoint site. Within a group’s team site, this roll
out brings a new home page, featuring the Quick links web part for showcasing
links to important team resources, and the Activity web part for showing
recently active content. It, too, brings modern pages. These are responsive and
powerful page authoring and consumption experiences in Office 365. Modern pages
will come as a part of the team site within Office 365 Groups and will be
available to all existing team sites, even if they are not associated. Last, Microsoft will begin to increase the SharePoint Online site collection limit to 25TB – up
from 1TB.
How
does this affect me?
Modern
SharePoint Online team sites will first come to existing Office 365 Groups. It
will start rolling out to First Release customers early September 2016. This
will include the new home page, publishing pages, quick links,
activity—inclusive of modern lists and libraries. All classic SharePoint
functionality is available, too – you can access it from the Site Contents page
and within Site Settings. The new 25 TB site collection limit will begin
rolling out next week and is expected to be rolled out to all Office 365
customers worldwide within one month.
