Change the sharepoint.aspx page

If you click the "sharepoint" tile in the app launcher, you are now taken to  _layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx.

This page is an embarassment so how do I edit/change it?

The "you visited" information shown is rubbish - it's completely inaccurate, out of date and of no use whatsoever to a user. Where is the data pulled from and why does Msft think anyone would want to see this?

Hi Webbrewers3,

We understand admins may have requirements to custom the SharePoint home page or directly change it to the page you want. As we discussed above, the best way to influence our products and services is to submit your feedback via SharePoint Online Uservoice. It will let our related team hear your voice. Many good features are added from customers' good suggestions.

As a workaround, you may create a custom tile. So, users can directly access the SharePoint Online page which is customized by you.

Thanks for your understanding.

Tim

    "If you remove the SP tile, how can other users access all sites s/he want to? "

    That's what navigation is for. We try to minimize how much users are subjected to irrelevant information and there is NOTHING relevant to them on this page.  I could see maybe a high school tech class producing this but this is supposed to be an enterprise solution. How is it that Msft developers are not embarrassed by this abortion?

    And several days later NOTHING has changed? Despite me visiting many different sites/pages?

    Also under "Recent" I see a site that HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED IN 2YEARS!!!!

    Seriously, what is going on with this? When will this mess be removed from my tenant? I simply can't justify any of it to my users -  and I've run out of excuses.

    Hi webbrewers3,

    I have to say that it is not feasible to edit the redirecting page of SharePoint icon. If the "you visited" information you mentioned in your post means the Recentoption in the page, in my opinion, it is useful for users, for example, it can help users to quick remember one important file s/he accessed last time belongs to which site. If it is useless for you or if you have any other suggestions to the redirecting page, I suggest you submit your feedback via Uservoice, this is the best way to let our related team know that.

    Thanks for your feedback and understanding.

    Linda
