INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Attending Microsoft Ignite is a bit like drinking from a fire hose — the sheer number of announcements and great new capabilities is
overwhelming! Here are some of my very favorite intranet announcements from Day 1.Modern communication site as the root site!
One of the
most important sites in Office 365 is the root site in your tenant
Until now, the root site has been a classic team site
A big announcement today is that thedefault root site for new tenants will be a modern communication site.Official organization news
A key
ask from corporate communications teams has been the ability to publish and promote organization-wide news in SharePoint
Microsoft just announced the ability to designate one communication site as the official news portal for the organization
News posted to the official news portal gets a special indicator so that it is easy to tell — both on mobile and on SharePoint home —
which news posts are coming from the official news portal.
