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The "you visited" information shown is rubbish - it's completely inaccurate, out of date and of no use whatsoever to a user.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

    Hi webbrewers3,

    If you remove the SP tile, how can other users access all sites s/he want to? The redirecting page of the SharePoint tile can show all sites they can access, not only the team site. They can select which site they want to access from this page.

    If you still want to do this, an admin app launcher customization tools is already in development. After this feature rolled out, you can check if this can do some help for you. Thanks for your patience.

    For more information: Office 365 roadmap.

    You can post any complaint from your users here, and we will try our best to support you and tell you the present status of our products. Thanks for all your feedback and cooperation.

    Regards,

    Linda

    Hi everyone,

    For normal users, the redirecting page of the SharePoint icon can show all sites they are able to access, not only the team site. They can select which site they want to access from this page. As posted above we cannot change this page to a different URL or edit this page. I know there are still something we can do improve. I suggest you submit your detailed requirements and feedback via Uervoice to let our related team know that.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Linda
