Bob German is a Principal Architect at BlueMetal who leads Office 365 and SharePoint development. In his presentation, he discusses Microsoft's modernization of the SharePoint user experience to be more mobile-friendly. This includes modern document libraries, lists, and team sites. He demonstrates the modern experiences and notes both improvements like a better mobile and editing experience, as well as limitations like missing web parts and limited customization options. He also discusses how administrators can control the modern experiences at the tenant, site collection, and list level.
