dataset - Converting a sharded table in BigQuery to a Partioned

Question

I currently have a sharded table in Google BigQuery that is updated once a day (a new shard is created). I saw the documentation for converting this into a partitioned table. My question is around what happens after it gets converted. Does a new table get added while the original sharded is kept? Will the daily update continue to the partitioned table?
