new version of O365 home page?

I logged in this morning to discover that Copilot has taken over the home page at www.office.com. While I love copilot, I didn't want it here. I used the quick access function there all the time and now see no way to find that file list. Is it gone forever or is there a way to access it a different way?

You guys keep pushing updates that are not useful, It feels like it's just a 'change for the sake of change' situation and it's annoying.

    This is what happens with the speed-demon methodology of Agile; skip the testing, skip the beta, skip the user evaluation. Just change it and hope for the best. This LOST functionality is a prime example. Clearly NO ONE who actually uses this application was in on the change management for it.
    This is 10+ years of software testing development talking, and nearly 10 years of software training.

    The "best" work around is to save as a Favorite/Bookmark the Apps page, and so BYPASS the Copilot page altogether.

    Another workaround I have found is to PIN your favorite online app:

    1. Click "Apps" on the Navigation panel
    2. Hover on your favorite app, such as Outlook, Word or whatever
    3. Click the ellipsis "..." on that tile and select PIN
    4. This will add your app to the Navigation panel

    Now when you open M365 and are on the Copilot screen, you can click your pinned app. This opens a new tab on your browser with that app, AND will display the App Launcher (waffle) in the upper left corner (which SHOULD BE on the Copilot page!). Now you can go to any of the other apps in your M365 subscription.

    You can pin multiple apps to the Navigation panel. If you pin more than can be seen at once with the browser window size and resolution, a veritical scroll bar will appear.

    I really liked Office 365, the home page was very good. This Copilot bull **** is horrible. Is it time to looked at Gsuite? It is really that bad. Fix this Microsoft, I want the old interface back, and by old I mean the one that I was suing up to a month ago. .

    We are adding our feedback there. Yet this massive disruptive, undesired change still remains. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET MICROSOFT TO UNDO THIS? I have never seen such a bad, thoughtless decision from Microsoft without a quick about-face. This was a bad decision Microsoft. Don't continue to make a bad situation worse by not undoing it. I guess they just had too much business/too many users...
