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..

    Dennis, your comment is rude and unnecessary. This is a workaround, not a solution. We are all here for the same issue. Just keep it moving...no big deal.

    Thanks Betty! I posted the same workaround too. :)

    To be honest, 1/2 of my organization save files into their Files tab on their Team.
    So this new feature probably benefits them.

    The other 1/2 still save to a local file server, so they do not love this change.
