new version of O365 home page?

Dear Charlene Evans,

I understand that the recent change in the Microsoft 365 interface to Copilot may cause discomfort and be difficult to accept for some users. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this transition may have caused.

However, as a forum moderator, I do not have the authority to directly alter the interface or features of the product. Each update from Microsoft is aimed at long-term goals of improving user experience and enhancing convenience during use.

To my knowledge, this change is intended to strengthen user data security. Some feedback has indicated that when accessing office.com (especially in public or crowded places) documents stored in the cloud could be publicly visible, potentially leading to unintended personal data exposure.

If you or other users would like to have an option such as a toggle button for the new interface, I encourage you to submit your feedback through Microsoft’s official feedback portal at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/.

You may mark this post as “Mark as answer” to help prioritize its visibility on the forum and in search results for other users. This will make it easier for others to access the information, especially as many users are raising similar concerns.

Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for sharing your perspective so candidly.

Best regards,

Ryan-N-MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

This is ****. I want the portal to display the files I use frequently. I shouldn't have to search for them or go through One Drive, especially for files that are shared from someone else's One Drive. Bring back the quick access, please.

Why does MS insist on changing stuff that doesn't need to be changed? Quit jamming Copilot down our throats.

This isn't helpful. Please bring back:

• App Launcher Menu
• Old UI layout

Copilot doesn't need to be front and center. What people use every day for their work does.

Agree. This landing page UI update is not a helpful one by any stretch of the imagination.

This ranks up there in "what are you thinking?" along with officially renaming Microsoft 365 to Microsoft 365 Copilot. Anyone confused yet?

This is a terrible update, I can't even find some of my most frequently used apps, and is causing a slowdown in productivity. co-pilot is a useful tool but it is not the best "home page" experience - this is not how people work!
