CAN'T PIN FOLDERS ANYMORE IN EXCEL/WORD 2016

 

Same for me.  I've been with Office 2016 for over a month.  The pinned folders feature went away on 2/25/16.  What gives anyway?  I can't even find the update that did this dastardly deed to uninstall it.

It was the last update (see the section "Office suite: Feature updates"):

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.

I also hated it and revert it back to the previous version.

This "folder browse capability" is worse than using the SAVE AS separate window! So, not only they removed an important and useful feature (pinned/recent folders), but also created a crippled folder browse for the place.

Wow, just wow.

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?

It occurred as part of a redesign of the Save As dialogue window so while I'd love to think it's a bug or an oversight that will immediately be corrected, it appears intentional.  The ability to name the spreadsheet without the extra click is welcome but is totally negated by not being able to get to the main 10 folders I use.   I'd much rather keep the existing pinned folders functionality as now it's more steps than before to save a spreadsheet where I want it saved.

Does your reply indicate it has been removed as opposed to it being a bug? Please be more clear with this message.

Same here... Lost it 2 days ago too. They scrapped extremely useful feature.
