    What Should I Do If I Want to Change Classic Mode Apps to Modern Mode Apps in the AOS New UI?

    If your tenant has classic mode apps and wants to switch to the modern mode apps, you can refer to the instructions below to complete the transition.

    1. Go to App management and follow the steps below to create app profiles:

      1. Click Create on the App management page.

      2. Select services which will use this app profile.

      3. Select the Modern mode.

      4. Consent to the apps under the services based on your scenario. Then, click Finish after you finish creating app profiles.

        *Note: In Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365, if your tenant only manages Exchange or SharePoint objects, you can choose to only consent to the related Exchange/SharePoint app.

    2. In Auto discovery, scan profiles use app profiles for scanning in the following priority (from high to low): Modern mode > Classic mode > Custom mode. If your tenant has scan profiles which are kept from the AOS classic UI and use classic mode apps, these scan profiles can still be used for daily scanning. After you edit one of these scan profiles, AOS will regard the operation as applying modern mode apps for the scan profile. Thus, you can edit a scan profile and save it (even though there is no change in the scan profile) to replace classic mode apps with modern mode apps.

      *Note: In Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365, the backup jobs use app profiles in the following priority (from high to low): Modern mode > Classic mode > Custom mode. As the backup jobs in Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 can directly use modern apps and the priority is the same as the priority of scan profiles in AOS, no extra action is needed for the backup jobs after the app transition.

    3. If all scan jobs and service jobs such as backup jobs run successfully, you can delete the classic mode apps.

      *Note: In AOS > Auto discovery > Job monitor, you can view the Authentication information in the latest scan job details to check if the modern mode apps have been used for scanning.
