Editor's Notes
- Are you an internal communicator who owns and manages the intranet? Are you looking to redesign your intranet but are not sure how Microsoft's Modern Communication sites fit into your project? Attend this session to learn about what features Communication Sites provide and how you can leverage them. This session will also be demo heavy to showcase key features that are available for 1st Release users in Office 365 tenants.
- Topic—Select the Topic design when you have a lot of information to share, such as news, events and other content. Showcase—Use the Showcase design to feature a product, team or event using photos or images. Blank—Start with a blank site and make your design come to life quickly and easily.
- Communication sites allow people to create and share recurring updates beyond email. When you create a page on a communication site, you can embed documents and video, and dynamically pull in real-time data from across Office 365, including documents from SharePoint, Power BI reports, Microsoft Stream videos and Yammer discussions. The resulting page is a rich and dynamic communication. And the page persists on the site, so people can refer to it easily, even as the membership of your team changes, so new members can more easily get up to speed.

- The Hero and Image web parts can be placed in a section layout that spans the page from left to right, giving you ways to emphasize your most essential information.
- Each news article and page can have its own set of comments. It is possible to use the Yammer web part for broad discussion scenarios as well as targeted responses to engage your viewers on the sole message and content on the page—all keeping within the context of the page Comments are stored in the site page item in SharePoint (in a column). You can delete your comments, but you can't edit them. It's NOT linked to Yammer.
- When you share news via email from a communication site, it’s not just a blue link; it’s a visual, informative preview that adds context to both the email and the news article itself. Within the email, the recipient(s) will see a thumbnail, title, description and an optional message from the sender
