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 forced, unholy trainwreckof an Office 365 layout change is nothing short of a colossal failure; an embarrassment of decision-making that has decimated productivity, sabotaged functionality, and left users in a state of absolute chaos. Who at Microsoft greenlit this mess? Who thought that it would be a great idea to obliterate usability, make basic operations a nightmare, break compatibility with major browsers, and render essential features incomprehensibly difficult to access?  This is not innovation, it is active sabotage of a system that worked fine before this disaster was forced upon us.Let’s be clear: this redesign is not an upgrade. It is a degradation of everything that made Office 365 remotely efficient. Files are lost in a labyrinth, apps are malfunctioning, and workflows have been thrown into disarray. And the worst part? You gave users**no choice. No option to revert. No warning. Just a slap in the face and an expectation to deal with it.**I have personally lost an entire week struggling with this broken, convoluted abomination of a layout; time that will never be recovered. And I am just one of countless users who now find their work routines hijacked by Microsoft’s complete disregard for functionality and user experience.**This needs to be undone. Now.**Microsoft must IMMEDIATELYrestore the previous layout option, or face the justified backlash of users who refuse to be held hostage by a platform that has abandoned them.

    Everyone at my nonprofit is frustrated by this change. Maybe there should be a choice in how we interface with your service. This is not helpful.

    Absolutely terrible decision by Microsoft. We may have to find a different solution as Microsoft doesn't care about usability any more.

    I agree with the other comments. Bring back the Office 365 Portal homepage. I Don't want my landing page to be co-pilot! And to be honest I'm not that impressed with the copilot product.
