Every time I try to use the Save As feature to save a Word or Excel document, Teams channels appear in the Quick Access area. I don't want these items to appear. This just started happening last week. Normally the folders I have added to Quick access show up..

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Thanks. Did the feedback, so hopefully in 3-6 months they will look at it and implement a default or available 'collapse' quick access and also a 'remove quick access link' option. :0)
This is so irritating. You are able to hide them in Teams but not in the other applications. Hiding the Teams or Channels doesn't get rid of the window though, they just don't show there anymore.
The "backstage," that is, the area you see in Windows when you click File in an Office application, offers very little customization.
Please note that Microsoft won't see your feedback here. You can post it via Help > Feedback in Word for Windows.
Thank you Samantha!
This does NOTHING to solve my original problem: how to NOT have all the bloody Teams folders show up on the quick access places once I *have* selected 'save as' - stop posting this as a solution please.
This solution did not work for me. Teams channels still show up.
