Based on the new feature being now rolled out at large: https://blogs.office.com/2016/05/04/sharepoint-the-mobile-and-intelligent-intranet/

The new SharePoint Home page (landing page) is cool and we really appreciate the new look and feel.

The only issue is that we can not customize that Home page and place the different items based on our priority!
Based on what we have now:

Links
Followed Sites
Recents
Suggested

It would be very interesting if we could place the LINKS on the right followed by the Followed sites!

Then we would have the Recents and Suggested sites on the left menu.

Basically being able to move parts from the left or right pane!!

Thanks and please vote for my suggestion!

The breadcrumb navigation is broken in several places in central administration and it has been for years. It makes it a hassle administering some service applications / functions.

When navigating to the user profile service application there is no way to go "back" to the start page of the UPS. I find myself very often having to go back to the service applications overview and start the user profile service application via the regular link again. The search service application always has the menu on the left side, making it easy to switch between e.g. search schema and content sources and even CTRL+click to open in multiple tabs. Not possible with UPS.

-Some examples-
UPS: Non existing breadcrumb.Try to get back from having edited a user profile property and switch to "start profile synchronization". Browser back button? But that would issue a POST again, I don't want to know what might happen when I issue random POSTS everywhere.

Managed Metadata Service: The breadcrumb top level is "Site Settings". I know this is because we are just on termstoremanager.aspx - but it should know that currently I'm calling it from CA - I would rarely want to go to Site Settings in CA, but would love to go back to the homepage.

Monitoring > Review job definitios > Edit timer job: How to get back to the job definition overview? Sure I can use the link on the left side, why is there no breadcrumb on top?

You see where I'm aiming at: Have a consistent breadcrumb for everything in CA.

In the classic document library experience, you can have a tree interface for navigating metadata tags, filtering the items shown in the library, as described here: https://tinyurl.com/lvltljh

Currently, tree navigation is only available in the classic experience, not new, as explained here: https://tinyurl.com/m6knsj9

In my company, the tree navigation of metadata tags has been crucial for user adoption, weaning them off of the nested folder structure they were used to in file shares, by having an equivalent nested set of metadata tags (not folders).

I am hopeful this functionality can be added to the new document library experience so that we can transition to it.

Keep that Ribbon bar (Files, Library), and move the Folders/View to the right of those, put the Global Search there, and most other changes in that same row. All my clients know to go to the Ribbon for the non-basic features, and my current client was complaining to me without the Ribbon..
- Some redundancy with features on the “new task-based” ribbon is fine. Fewer clicks and more obvious action buttons are more important than cleanliness.
- Like Office and Windows toolbars, add an option to Show text for icons, or customize it.
- The Folders/View dropdown wont get used if it’s off to the upper-right. My clients need at least the list of 3-5 views across the top of the library

One of our clients recently notified us that its SharePoint Online site was extremely slow. This was odd considering that none of our other customers were experiencing the same behavior. After some investigation, research, and a ticket with Microsoft, we learned that SharePoint Online's structured navigation feature was the gremlin in the engine. Related to this, here are some important articles to read.

The workaround in this case was to shift from using structured navigation to managed navigation. That's easy enough to do, but it's important to point out that managed navigation does not incorporate security trimming. This is a very important need for most of our customers.

Given that structured navigation is the simplest form of navigation configuration and management in SharePoint along with the fact that it includes security trimming, it is the ideal recommended starting point. However, as the number of subsites within a site collection increases, the time it takes to render pages also increases and given enough subsites, SharePoint pages take so long to load that it becomes frustrating. The result is that it can take longer to do something in SharePoint than it would to do that same thing elsewhere. One of the outcomes we're concerned about is that our customers will either move away from or never move to SharePoint Online.

Can the performance of structured navigation be improved for SharePoint Online?
