There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

SharePoint sites will soon see a new look and feel. Microsoft is rolling out the new modern UI for all document libraries and site content pages.
How does this affect me?
SharePoint sites with the publishing feature enabled currently load the classic UI for all document libraries and the Site Contents page in that site, except for document libraries that have explicitly enabled the modern experience in library advanced settings. We are changing it so that sites with the Publishing feature enabled will load the modern UI for site contents and documents libraries, unless an administrator has opted out of the modern experience.
What do I need to do to prepare for this change?
If you want certain sites with Publishing enabled to continue to use the classic experience, you can configure them to do so. For information on how to do this, click the Additional Information link.
