SharePoint Online Terminology–Old vs New

As we transition from the old to the new in SharePoint here are some classic questions (pun intended)

Sites

Modern vs Classic Sites
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/modern-experience-customizations-customize-sites

Huge difference between the Modern and Classics site and more will be discussed in the future but here is a good start

Content Editor Web Part missing
O365 Scripting
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/allow-or-prevent-custom-script
O365 Scripting Security Risks
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/security-considerations-of-allowing-custom-script

MMS

Setup Content Type Publishing vs preconfiged

The new default location for MMS is  …  /sites/contenttypehub

warning on columns using terms … might not be supported by earlier client programs.  Adding this column might block those programs from saving documents to this library.  Are you sure …
