Add Share button for entire list/library
Hello,
Can we get a Share Button added to the default view of a list or library that will share the entire library using the same interface as the individual document/list item? Currently to Share an entire list or library you have to go into the list/library settings and manage the permissions.Possibly this is by design, but if it was added maybe add a warning that by sharing this will give access to all items in this list? Or do you guys do it because inheritance gets broken when sub items are shared?

Customize Document Library Action List
"Check out" button is buried. It's required on my site to check a document out before uploading a new version, so why is it so hard to find? It would be nice to be able to edit the list of available actions (New, Upload, Quick edit, Share, etc. I'd like to remove some buttons that aren't necessary for my purposes and reorder the rest to fit my needs.

Visual indicator on shared items
Would be good to add a visual indicator on Document Libraries, folders and files that have been shared. It could be an active small share icon next to the item.
From the modern document library view, users will be able to identify any items that have unique permission (broken inheritance) compared to the Site permissions.
Now users can easily share folders and files or even change the permission of the document library, but it's then really difficult to track down these shared items.

un-share shared document
Members can share documents and folders in SharePoint, but they cannot un-share the documents they shared. I think an option to do this would be useful.

Enable launching the client application by clicking on the file displayed as a search result.
*English follows Japanese
■件名: 検索利用時に表示されるファイルをクリック時にクライアント アプリケーションで起動可能なように機能実装を希望します。
■内容:ドキュメント ライブラリにてファイルをクライアントアプリケーションで起動するよう制御が可能だが、サイト内検索を利用時に表示されるファイルをクリックした場合にクライアントアプリケーションで優先的に起動する制御ができないため、クライアント アプリケーションで起動可能なように機能実装を希望します。
Enable launching the client application by clicking on the file displayed as a search result.
I recognized that it is possible to control the file to be launched by the client application in the document library. However, when the user is using the in-site search, the user cannot control to start with priority in the client application by clicking on a file displayed.
Therefore, we hope the feature will be enabled to launch the client application by clicking on the file displayed as a search result for increas usability.
Thank…

Add a "Shared With" column to folders
Small libraries with folders sometimes need to be shared with internal users, and more importantly with external users. A "Shared With" column would be extremely helpful in these scenarios.

fix the "likes" rating settings in modern experience
Please fix the "Likes" voting/rating in the modern experience. It works in the classic experience, and I have confirmed through a support request that this is not working in the modern experience. The support tech suggested that I add this as a feature request.

Customize SharePoint Email Alert Templates
Allow the site collection admins to customize the template for the standard SharePoint alerts. The current email alerts are confusing, provide too much information to the user and are out-of-date style-wise.
Allow the admins to add common fields, i.e. "Title", "Created By", and include an image and hyperlinks. Also allow adding a CSS style sheet.

Allow external users to sync document libraries
External users are unable to sync document libraries unless they are individually given read access to the root SharePoint site. External users should be able to sync documents without this step.

As a user I want to be able to create Word documents in Word 2016 (i.e. Desktop) from templates stored in SharePoint
In Office 2016 we only have 2 locations for templates:
- User Templates
- Workgroup Templates
This is just too limited. I need to be able to reference template libraries in more than just two locations.
It seems to me that we should be able to reference templates stored on SharePoint sites, just to be clear multiple SharePoint sites.
So if I want to create a document from the Marketing Team's templates then I should be able to see templates from their SP site, if I want to create a document from the Finance Team's template then I should be able to…

Allow Content Types to contain Multiple Templates
When using the Modern interface, the New Button contains a way to create several types of Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and assign them to the default content type (I.e. Document).
When you add a custom Content Type to the library these options disappear and are replaced by the option to add only the Content Types (and Link/Folder).
It would be helpful if Content Types (minimally) had the ability to select if you wanted these options to appear when adding a custom content type (possibly when you didn't supply a template).
Ideally, it would be nice if you could…

Simple Search
On listing pages for documents, there is no simple search box for the Name column to filter live. This would make search for documents in a folder or for a folder name really simple especially in large folders.

Implement Consistent Check-In Behavior in Modern Document Libraries
Currently in the Modern Library interface there are several ways to upload/add files. This is great as users need to use the option they are most comfortable with.
However, in the situation that a library has a required column in the library there is differences in what happens based on what the user does.
If a user creates a file with the new button, the interface will create the file and set it to “Checked out”.
If a user uploads a file using the upload button (or drags/drops a single file) the file will upload and be set to “Checked…

make a default Office Online's edit mode enabled when opening files.
*English follows Japanese
■Title(件名):ファイルを開いた際に既定で Office Online の編集モードで操作を可能にしたい
Wishing the operation along with a default Office Online's edit mode to be enabled when opening a file.
■Description_JP (内容): ドキュメントライブラリ内のファイルを開いた際に、既定で Office Online の編集モードで操作が可能となるよう、設定を変更する機能の追加してほしい。ファイルの編集を開始するまでの工数を削減することを目的としております。
In case of opening the files in a document library, I hope that I will be able to use the additional feature enabling me to modify its setting so as to perform the operation, using default Office Online's edit mode. That would be very helpful in reduce the workloads in achieving the initiation of file edit.

COpy here
The 'copy to' command is really difficult to use, it is hard to pick the destination with the current picker., esp when you need to go a few folders deep.
Can you make a duplicate command, that copy pastes in the current folder...???

Allow users to stop sharing folder
Allow users to stop sharing folder. Currently, users with "Edit" permissions can share files and folders. They can stop sharing files but cannot stop sharing folders. At the moment, the user needs to contact a SharePoint Admin to stop the sharing of any folder they might have shared.
