    This would be useful if only it were accurate. There is no "File > Feedback > Add Feedback" button on my Excel 2016.

    After checking on Excel Help for feedback, it tells me to click on the smiling or frowning icon at the top right of the screen. There are no such icons either. All I see is a Share icon.

    I guess, I cannot send feedback after all and if no one else can either, we will not see the Pinned Folders feature back anytime soon.

    Who knows why,  as anybody doing business needs to access many files in a folder not just one, whoever in Microsoft changed this pretty basic feature backwards didn't know what they were doing and how inconvenient the 'upadated' 2016 version is....

    So its a fact?  no more pinning folders in excel 2016?

    I hope not.  I constantly update the date/revision in file names so pinning a file is useless - I want to pin the folder in which I'm constantly accessing the latest revision of that file.  Why do these companies take features away.. ugh, so annoying!!

    Issue for me is inability in Word 2016 to pin folders in open menu as could be done in previous versions. Can pin files but not folders.  And in previous versions clicking on This PC showed all folders - same as browse and here is where they could be pinned. Now This PC shows only folders nested under Documents folder.
