SharePoint Online - Change the look for Communication sites

Site footer is a new SharePoint feature. MSFT will begin rolling this feature out soon. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 33138

How does this affect me?
SharePoint Communication sites will have an out-of-the box footer control, which can be controlled either using UI elements or by using APIs. MSFT will be gradually rolling this out to customers in mid-July, and the roll out will be completed worldwide by the end of July.

Note: The site footer feature is only available on communication site site pages. They are not available for list pages, library pages, or other pages on your site.
