    There is no "feedback" button in Office 365.

    I agree with everyone who's complaining. This was a useful feature that got removed and I am VERY annoyed. There isn't even any decent workaround.

    Microsoft - FIX this! What were you thinking?!!

    I echo the others--why on earth did they remove this feature? Both at work and at home, there are a number of folders I'm working in all the time, and I want to be able to get to them quickly from within the Office programs. A truly dumb deletion. Microsoft, PUT IT BACK!

    I don't see the File > Feedback on either my Win 7 or Win 10 computers

    I also don't know why Microsoft would remove this essential feature.

    No File -> Feedback -> Add Feedback button in my Excel 2016 version. Did they drop this as well?

    Yes, they did. But they did tell us it was intentional as opposed to a bug.

    That's all I'm after. Acknowledgement that the change was intended or that it's a bug? Clearly stated not implied.

    Then I can answer that for you: it was intentional.

    Folder browse capability in File > Save As: Use full folder navigation in File > Save As in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for OneDrive folders, OneDrive for Business folders, and This PC.

    source: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/mt465751?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    They intentionally changed the way SAVE AS window works. Why did they do that? Did they really think people would prefer this behavior of SAVE AS (already available by clicking "browse") instead of the useful recent/pinned folders? I have no idea - people do stupid things sometimes.

    Honestly, I hated this change so much that I went back to the previous version - and I will stay there until they fix this stupidity or something really great (like, REALLY great) comes up in a future version.

    I can't see anywhere on that page that says they removed the ability to pin folders. I see lots of things added, but no mention of things that have been removed.

    So, I'm still trying to find out where MS tell us what's gone.
