How do I stop Teams items appearing in Quick Acess when I am SAVING (using Save As) a Word or Excel document?

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..

    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.

    In Word for Windows, if you want to go to the classic Save As dialog box, the quickest method is to press F12 on your keyboard. Note that some keyboards may require that you press Fn+F12 (rather than just F12).

    Ho Ho Ho early!

    Adding the Save As... command to the quick access toolbar worked for me. Thanks!
