This modern experience is based on SharePoint Framework which has brought in a lot of changes from the ‘classic’ platform. The major advancement has been in the basic structure where things are focused to be developed on client side rather the server side. In fact, from April 2019, Microsoft is restricting the possibility of running whole organization on classic mode for libraries and lists. However, lists that use features that are currently supported in the modern experience will be switched to classic, automatically.

However, SharePoint Modern Experience is flexible for now. If there are CSPs who can’t switch to the modern experience immediately, there many tools available to help them restrict users to classic experience like the SharePoint Modernization scanner.

1. SharePoint modernization scanner

With this tool, you can identify sites and lists having specific customizations that are not supported by the modern User interface. It is hence possible to identify the impact of the classic view and modern sites. CSPs wish to keep the currently running sites to classic view. Not all but a few of them for a better user experience, since the users wouldn’t have to switch amongst different modes of experience.

2. Disabling the modern experience is still possible

Apart from PowerShell scripts being used to enable and disable the SharePoint modern experience, there is always an option to “return to classic mode” on modern views of libraries and lists. Owners of Lists can configure a particular list to be run in classic mode for all of its users.

3. It wraps itself around O365

SharePoint modern experience and SharePoint Online integrates itself with Office 365 much easier. Moreover, updates from Microsoft Team sites can be integrated and hence SharePoint modern experience incorporates that all.

4. The modern pages

As mentioned above, there had been a need of an editor experience since many years, like a CMS. With modern pages under Modern SharePoint Experience, content editors are given more power to make use of this experience: publishing content with CMS similar to Word press. Less training is required for editors and the process is kept simple. In just 2 to three clicks, you are good to go!

5. The user experience in Modern SharePoint experience

Technically, the modern experience has got updates that mostly affect the administrators because more changes are provided at administrative settings. Not many changes have been introduced within the interface. Hence, this experience make it user friendly, since the users can still be provided the classic view where needed and they don’t have to switch back and forth between the two modes.

6. Modern and Classic Lists

With the SharePoint modern experience, there are many scenarios that have been modernized like the document sets. Apart from this, there are a few modern-only features introduced like the Microsoft Flow integration. Hence, it is obvious that Modernization is an on-going process. Generally, those features are upgraded earlier that have a higher impact or demand.

A new level of collaboration is emerged once SharePoint is used alongside Teams. Let’s have a look at how did the collaboration space has taken the form in the cloud and how Teams work and benefit your business:

Teams are Tasks oriented
It is necessary to keep all things related to one task in one place like messages, notes, and meetings documents. If the relevant teammates are online for immediate access, it is always a plus.

Extra work eliminated
While working with Teams, many things get streamlined and hence the need of extra work is eliminated like extra e-mails, notification to relevant members, or documents being shared explicitly to teammates after each revision. The need of various small tasks is eliminated altogether.

Information sharing gets smoother
Teams provide a great way to collaborate within a channel. Any meeting can be called right on spot. Brainstorming sessions and online collaborations on e.g. whiteboards get much easier while working with Teams.

You might think that in all this Teams scenarios, where does SharePoint come in?  The answer to that is: Both Teams and SharePoint team sites have one thing in common: they are organized by a project, topic, an organization or some other point of focus for a team in the cloud. So, channels and Teams often have a similar structure for project sites and SharePoint team respectively.

Teams Documents can be shared and stored to SharePoint and OneDrive and have a number of benefits for businesses.  Here are major points:

1. There are two special protocols which are common to SharePoint and One Drive along with Teams and that are: WOPI and FSSHTTP. These protocols are responsible for document co-authoring along with dealing of online versions of Office Applications. So, Documents can be worked on Teams alongside Sharepoint without any co-authoring conflicts.
2. SharePoint and Teams both provide previewed and opened in Teams and SharePoint. There is an option to open Files in SharePoint, while working on Teams. There are no compatibility issues.
3. With documents been worked on at SharePoint, they are better protected, automatically classified and labeled, discoverable with eDiscovery and prevented from Data Loss.

With these extra benefits of handling documents in Teams and SharePoint, the project team gets the benefit of both the worlds. Better collaboration leads to lesser complications, both in documentation and in practice. This not only enhances the performance of the team with better collaboration in the cloud, but also proves beneficial for the business.
