Yeah, pretty annoying!! I don't get why they'd get rid of a very useful feature like this. It's extremely frustrating!
Existing pinned folder functionality removed in my Excel 2016 on 24 Feb 2016. Was working until a new MS update. Now gone. **** MS? Removing functionality I use a 20-50 times a day. Why? Why break my program and cause me extra work?
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!!
