The tasks app should allow a timeline to be created and displayed in the modern experience of sharepoint online.
Tasks needs to be created and searchable in the modern experience. Just like it use to work in the classic experience.

hide/disable the Recent Activity in the details pane
Implement a configurable switch to hide/disable the Recent Activity in the details pane. Should be configurable at the user, library or tenant level.
Users find it annoying when the details pane keeps refreshing as other users update a list item or document; it makes the details pane constantly refresh and appears to "flicker" causing a poor user experience.

Customizing Column Width
Modern lists seem to have an unmodifiable min width (even with JSON). Also, manually adjusted column widths reset upon refresh.
It seems many are asking for customizable and SET column widths (similar to setting widths for web parts would be satisfactory or even allow JSON to alter).
The excessive white space and scrolling right is problematic and inefficient.

Modern Page Ratings
Will the functionality to like/rate pages be added to the modern pages? This is obviously available on classic pages and would be a great addition to the modern pages especially within the Communication sites.

File Viewer web-part needs view-size option
File Viewer: The Web-part for this is great, but does not allow a large enough view port for the document. Could we have a size of view option? I would like to be able to view a whole page of A4 at normal or near normal view size on an HD monitor.

LinkedIn Feed Webpart
Provide a webpart like the Twitter SPO webpart that allows displaying a feed from any LinkedIn account in a sharepoint online page.
Ability to show feeds from more than one account would be desireable!

Ability to hide the Hub Site navigation
Add the ability to hide the hub site navigation via some setting or powershell.
The hub site navigation is a list of static links with no security trimming and no way to target an audience. With the introduction of SharePoint SPFx extensions we have the ability to create a header on top of the page. The most common usecase in this scenario is to create a customized menu. However if hub sites are used and you need a customized menu you will have two menu's at the top.
Here are a few business scenario's for a customized menu

We don’t intend to support hiding hub navigation per site, however there are a few key solutions you can use (now and soon):

Permissions report - inheritance breaks
Allow the owners of the sites to view a report of the security of their site. Start by adding a chart of the inheritance breaks of the whole site in one glance. This will become more and more important since you can use the 'Share' button on a file and break inheritance without understanding what you're doing.

SharePoint Calendar views adjust for local time zone
SharePoint calendars will show the time zone associated with the SharePoint site. Companies with offices across time zones have to translate that and people will often miss a scheduled meeting unless they used Outlook to show current time zone of the calendar item. Why can the calendar check the local computer time and adjust the calendar to display in the proper time zone?
This should be an option since not every company will want this functionality, but from a UX side, this would help with schedules.

News post notifications to author, not creator
In our organisation, we often create news posts for others that do not have the rights to do so. We then set them as the Author of the news post.
However, when others subsequently comment or "like" the news post, the email notification is sent to the creator and not the author.
We would like to ability to change the notification behavior such that authors can be set up to receive the comment notifications.

Allow mailmerge using SharePoint (and/orOneDrive) based lists and document
Allow Office 365 Word/Excel mailmerge functionality when the files are stored on SharePoint (Online or on-premises).

The Office client people I know seem to think this is a SharePoint Online limitation, while the SharePoint people seem to think the Office client team need to sort this.220 votes -
Improve Highlighted content web part to support custom content types and their custom columns
I'd like to show users documents from an another site (different o365 group site). I came across the Highlighted content web part which is a very flexible and potentially useful function. However I can not filter my documents with it as it
1 does not show custom content type at the type or document type filters (even though my content type is directly inheriting Document), and does not lists my documents either (basically being Documents because of the inheritance)
2 can not select custom columns of my content type at the managed property filter.218 votesWe’re working on an option in highlighted content to enable custom queries where you can provide the KQL or CAML and specify your own query. This will enable you to search by custom content types.

Add event registration to Communication Sites
While I love being able to create events easily in SP Communication sites (and love that users can add them to their calendars), not having the ability to have users register for limited capacity events means we have to duplicate the information or abandon the events in SP all together.
215 votesnot in our plans right now ·AdminSharePoint Sites & Collaboration (Admin, Microsoft SharePoint) responded
Thank you for everyone’s feedback. We are not planning on adding support for event registration at this time but we will keep it in mind in the future when we look at improving the overall event story on SharePoint.
