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.

2025-06-06T12:56:06+00:00 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.
That's a bit ridiculous really. All that would be visible would potentially be filenames and thumbnail images. As opposed to to the person in said public environment opening the file in the Web app to provide a better view to all around.
Besides what sane person works on sensitive documents in public crowded places.
A logic fail by Microsoft.

2025-06-08T12:24:01+00:00 I do not appreciate being manipulated into using your AI solution. Our organisation has - foolishly it would seem - opted to move to 365 as our business platform and yet Microsoft clearly has NO consideration for the user experience. Your new page just makes my life more difficult when the whole point of decent digital provision is to make is easier. I am refusing to use Co Pilot on principle - other AI platforms are available...

2025-06-09T09:18:48+00:00 What is the MC or roadmap reference for this please? I'm now getting complaints coming in that we didn't notify our users about this change, our training team are panicking as they have introduction to M365 courses that were leaning heavily on the M365 home page to help people find files and file locations - fortunately we also heavily leaned into use of Search so hopefully our users who've already been trained will cope but we're dealing with large numbers of users who are NOT IT-savvy and they DONT expect their working life upended with no notice and as I'm the person who monitors message center I'm feeling pretty stressed and anxious that I've let thousands of people down. So, y'know, slow clap microsoft what on earth are you guys thinking? Is it that you don't like money, and want people to move to other platforms which don't treat busines customers like beta testers? If so... I mean well done it's working.
