Option to choose whether files open in edit mode or view mode
It used to be so, that when a SharePoint document was opened in Word online, the document opened in a reading view.
If the user wanted to edit the document he or she had to actively click on an "Edit"button.
From one day to another this behaviour has suddenly changed, so that now all documents open directly in edit mode.
Because of this we are now having massive issues with files being changed unintentionally.
The check out feature is not a solution, as it adds a big unwanted step whenever one of our many users wants to change as mush…

When ever we accessed the files on the shared drive, it usually opened in read only mode and we had choice to open the file in online browse
When ever we accessed the files on the shared drive, it usually opened in read only mode and we had choice to open the file in online browser or edit in excel. From yesterday it directly opens up in edit mode. Multiple users accessing that can create some confusion.

Change "Copy Link" button to copy the "Document ID link" (the one with docidredir.aspx)
It used to be that when you selected a document, and clicked "Copy Link" (in a site where the Document ID feature was enabled), that you would get the "Document ID Link" (the one with docidredir.aspx). Now when you click the "Copy Link" button, you get the so-called "durable" link. The problem with the durable link is twofold:
It is only a durable link for Office documents. For example, if you move a picture file to another location in the library, the link will be broken.
The durability is limited to the library wherein the document is contained. If you…

Cannot rename own created folder
Hello, I have tried to rename the previous folder FY18 monthly reports to rename it to FY19 monthly reports but I am receiving an error message that the file is locked for shared use by (myself) tatjana.schmidt@chep.com which does not make sense. Please help.

check-in / check-out button should be more visible
The ability to check in and check out a document is hidden behind an ellipsis (...) icon in the navigation bar at the top of the library. Without checking in a document, my teammates can't see the document - so this functionality is very important and should be more obvious.

Add documentlibrary setting for opening in view or edit mode
Previously the default behavour was to open in Read mode, and then actively change to Edit mode - with the latest updates the default is to open in Edit-mode.
This causes Word Online to save the second the user opens the document, and thereby rendering the "Edited by" and "Last edited"-fields completly useless, as it in effect just shows who opened the document last.It also causes users to make a lot of accidental changes to documents as well.
Since users are complaning about both the default behaviours, why not add a setting that let's the admins control how files…

Bring back ability to edit HTML files in Modern File Text Editor
I LOVE the new Text Editor available on Modern Document Libraries to edit files directly in the browser. I use this feature ALL THE TIME. However it appears a new "feature" in document libraries is to preview HTML files and you have removed the ability to edit these files in the Modern Text Editor... BOO! I say.. BOO! Bring back the ability to edit HTML files in the Modern Text Editor.

Don't use the recycle bin when moving files
Just spent a whole weekend very very slowly clearing items from recycle bins after moving hundreds of GBs from one SharePoint library to another, as our tenant ran out of space due to the duplication.
Either:
• don't make a copy in the recycle bin - just move the files
• make retaining the copy optional (
