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.

    I am as frustrated as everyone else.

    My temporary workaround has been to log in directly through http://onedrive.com instead of microsoft 365.

    In this way you get the traditional homepage and the 9 dots button on the top left

    Doug,

    Make Microsoft aware of your feedback by posting it in the feedback portal at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/f9bcd76b-51a7-ed11-aad0-000d3a1f4287.

    Decision makers and programmers at Microsoft do not read the Community forums.

    That is a microsoft problem to manage, not for users to manage themselves.

    I have gone via the feedback option, actually, and I have encouraged our users to use it and not hold back also - whilst sharing this thread with them so that they don't take their ire out on us in the IT department for Microsoft's appallingly badly planned comms. Noting that comms folk are not designers and programmers, so I hope they are not also empowered to ignore all this.

    It is not unreasonable for a user base to assume that the community forum moderators and owners DO have a route to the designers and programmers and that they take the common sense approach of escalating when a thread of very unhappy customers emerges - whether the complaints are submitted via the 'feedback' route or not.

    I appreciate you were just trying to ensure people do get heard and that the feedback route is the official way to do that. But fundamentally users should not have to navigate which route is preferred by Microsoft, Microsoft should be navigating the routes users are providing feedback through, or they should close/merge those routes if it too hard for the poor ickle giant hyperglobal megacorp to manage. Smallest violin in the WORLD - MS don't get to wreck the place then say 'hey we will ignore you unless you use this specific route'.

    It's also important that users can see that other users feel as they do, or not, even if it descends into pages of acrimony. That's why it's called a community, and if MS can't handle that as a valuable route for how features are landing or not, then that is a microsoft issue, not a community one.

    My previous reply was primarily for Doug Maurer.

    Of course, it is OK to share experiences here. It is part of what the Community is for.

    Just be aware that no action will be taken by Microsoft, unless the feedback is posted through the proper channels.

    This answer doesn't make any sense. You're still in a public place still viewing the same documents either from the Copilot or the previous default page. This was a scripted answer. There is no enhanced security around changing a productive previous landing page to this new one.
