Month view for calendar on the page
We would like the calendar display apps (events and group calendar) to allow a "month" view. We love the events parts and like that they link to a group calendar but would love to visualize this in a month or week format

Modern calendars
Modern pages, lists and libraries look great and all fit together nicely.
The other main thing we use here is the calendars which are still looking classic, which means inconsistencies in the quick links layout as well as other things which viewing a calendar.
I can't find anything about when Calendars are going to be modernized.
Hopefully soon!

Thank you for submitting this suggestion and voting on it. We have two events/calendar solutions in modern pages today. The events web part has card based event tiles, powered by events lists. You can roll-up events from multiple sites into one page, but there isn’t currently a wall calendar view.
Alternatively you can select to leverage a group calendar, and pull all of your events (including recurring events) from Exchange. This too is a compact card based view.
While we understand a wall calendar view is desirable, we’re not working on it at this time.

Please provide option to customize email templates
Please provide option to customize email templates used to send notifications out of SharePoint online like "Send by Email" feature on modern UI pages, sharing notifications to other users. Most organizations do not allow users to install mobile apps. Providing information that is not approved will confuse the users and require constant training.
323 votesThank you for this suggestion. We have definitely heard the feedback. While we don’t have any plans at this time to enable custom email templates this is something we’ll think about as we move forward and prioritize items for our future roadmap. Thank you.

Allow change of the external sharing invitation language settings

■Title(件名):
共有をする際に送付する招待メールの言語を任意で設定できるようにしてほしい。Allow change of the external sharing invitation language settings
SharePoint Online / OneDrive for Business の共有を行う際に送付する招待メールの言語は、現時点では招待する側の言語設定に依存する動作となることを確認している。
外国在住のユーザーに対して外部共有を行う際に招待メールの言語を任意で選択できるように機能拡充を要望します。By default, external sharing invitation languages are set based on our side of language settings.
For improvement of usability and manageability, allow changing sharing invitation language settings to any desired language.Thank you for your consideration.

Ability for administrators to disable office online chat
We have shared class notebooks setup enabling classes of 30+ students free range to chat to each other. As you can imagine teachers are finding this hard to manage, especially when they're off task inside of a program where work is also taking place; making it incredibly easy for the sneaky students to hide their off topic discussions!
Furthermore the chat logs are not saved anywhere - this really does open up a host of child protection issues where cyber bullying could take place within the school without any logs of it ever happening.

Better site usage analytics
There should be more robust analytics on site usage. What is available now is very limited. For example, I can see total page views in the past 7 days, and the trending section for most viewed pages over the past two weeks, but in the trending section it just shows the blue bar, I can't even hover to get a number of page visits. Overall, improvement is needed in the area of site usage metrics.

Branding sharing email invitation
It would be great to do some branding on the sharing invitation e-mail message. For example replacing the Office 365 logo with your company logo and changing the color scheme.

SharePoint 2013 workflow email to distribution list
I found out after contacting Microsoft Support that you are not able to use the "Send Email" action in SharePoint 2013 Designer to send the email to a distribution list (group type of distribution or security). In order to send an email in a SharePoint workflow to a distribution list (allmanagers@company.com), you have to use a SharePoint 2010 workflow.
I was informed that SharePoint 2013 workflows can only send emails to organization users.
Please allow the ability to send to a distribution list within the GAL/org. This is a very common request so changes in recipients do not…

Reliable presence information in SharePoint Online
Currently SharePoint Online getting presence information from local Skype for Business client. It would be great it actually talks to Lync Online at the background (similar to OWA) so that users can see presence information regardless of they are logged into Skype or not. Furthermore, presence information does not work on Chrome, due to the same reason, this gives an inconsistent experience across browsers and can benefit from improvement.

Regarding the feature to fix the column width for the list or document library

Regarding the feature to fix the column width for the list or document library
■Description(内容):
現在、モダン UI のリストやライブラリでは、列幅を一時的に変更が可能な機能が存在するが、列幅を固定する機能ではないため、改めてリストやライブラリへアクセスすると、デフォルトの列幅で表示されてしまう。
クラシック UI では一時的にも列幅の変更ができない。
アイテムによって列の情報が見づらいことがあるため、管理者が列ごとに幅の既定値を設定する機能の実装を要望いたします。Currently, we have the feature to adjust the width of column on lists or document library with Modern UI.
However, the adjustment is temporary, and the width of column will be reverted to the default once users access again those list or library. (This feature is not implemented on Classic UI).Some lists or library have large information for their column, so we hope the feature will be implemented allow administrators to fix…

expire external user access
Similar to the ability to expire a guest link, it would be nice to have the ability to expire external users (in the Admin portal where you see external users listed per site collection?). When the authorized internal user invite an external user (outside organization), please offer a control to allow for the expiration of access (e.g. 7 days, 1 month, "custom" or hard date like June 30, 2016). This takes away follow-up administration, especially handy for invite clients to your portal for only the timeframe of a project.

Copy and Move pictures between Picture Libraries
We would like to be able to copy and move pictures to Picture Library within Modern sites.
Business case:
We have one picture library for external and archived images, and another to act as an image bank with more controlled metadata and versioning (the official images). We cannot move pictures between them efficiently!It seems that modern Copy To and Move To supports only Document Libraries.
And there is no Site content And Structure tool available any more.
SharePoint Migration Tool also seems to support only Document Libraries.So please give us a tool to copy/move efficiently dozens of images…

OneNote versioning and disabling sync to local app.
Allow versioning for OneNote Online. (If this is available in some back end admin setting, why does it apply to a Word document for instance, but not OneNote? When you right click on the Word doc, you get versions, if you right click on the OneNote notebook, you do not) Also, to have some option somewhere to not allow a local sync of the online OneNote notebook. So if the user opens the notebook in their local pc app (Windows 10 OneNote app, or OneNote 2016 full install from Office version) they only have a read only version.

add the feature that could enable for me to jump to another page.
I am currently inserting the [table] into a page, but am unable to reach the targeted page without several scrolls because of the longer table in longitudinal direction with the increased numbers. I am aware that I might be able to move to the anchor with the edited source tagged to HTML, but I hope the defaulted feature to be available that could enable for me to jump within a page, instead of inserting a HTML tag.
