Modern SharePoint: New Template gallery and 50+ out-of-the-box page templates

Updated August 12, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. Coming soon to Microsoft SharePoint: We will roll out Modern SharePoint page templates, a new feature designed to streamline content creation and elevate the visual consistency across your organization’s SharePoint pages or news posts. This rollout will introduce a centralized Template gallery that enables users to effortlessly discover, preview, and apply both Microsoft-provided and customer created site-specific templates. With over 50 new out-of-the-box (OOB) templates, this feature empowers users to build high-quality, aesthetically pleasing on-brand pages with ease. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 490565. When this will happen: Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out at mid-June 2025 and expect to complete by late June 2025. General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 and expect to complete by late September 2025 (previously late July). How this will affect your organization: With the introduction of the Template gallery, SharePoint users will have a dedicated experience to: Access both Saved on this site (templates created by customer on this site) and From Microsoft (OOB templates provided by Microsoft) in one centralized location: the new Template gallery. Browse and preview templates with ease before applying them to new pages. Leverage 50+ new OOB templates that are aesthetically pleasing, professionally designed, and easy to use—ideal for common scenarios such as status updates, event announcements, team introductions, and more. This will drive improved content quality, enhanced branding consistency, and faster page creation for your organization, ultimately driving higher user engagement. This change will be on by default. What you need to do to prepare: This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation. No action is required to enable this feature. However, we recommend the following to maximize its value: Inform your SharePoint site authors of the new Template gallery experience. Encourage content authors to explore the new OOB templates to reduce time spent on page creation while maintaining visual consistency. Before rollout, we will update this post with new documentation. Thank you for being a valued Microsoft 365 customer and for your continued partnership in making SharePoint better for everyone.
