Optionally disable feedback button
I see this Feedback button everywhere. Can I disable that this button is shown to my end-users? Please add this as an option I can set for a whole Site collection. Because users think this feedback is going to our internal IT department.

Thanks for the feedback – on the feedback button. As noted by folks in the comments you can use the Set-SPOTenant command to disable this button (there was a bug, but it has since been fixed). See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/set-spotenant?view=sharepoint-ps for details on the cmdlet and parameter. We are exploring setting to off by default; please open a new UV suggestion if you’d like to comment or vote on that option. NOTE: this only applies to the feedback button; there is no way to disable the “get mobile app” button at this time.

Always show options to send email invitation and select group or permission level
My users want the option to send email from the Share UI to be more obvious. Currently it is on by default and hidden under Show Options. Often they complain they didn't want to send email, especially if adding a large group. Also, depending on site group structure, the default group selected might be one with too much access, so I think that should not be hidden under Show Options either, regardless of the fact it has the text at the top of the window.

Thanks for the feedback! Closing out this old suggestion as current app picker and release of SPHome largely addresses navigation between one’s my site (OneDrive for Business), sites one is following, and promoted links/sites. If there are current gap scenarios please open/drive support for new suggestions. Thanks!

Regarding the way not to send invitation
In case I invite users or invite security groups users to SharePoint group, I wish not to send invitations.
Although I know that I will be able not to send them by unchecking check box,I need to uncheck it after clicking "View options". I would possibly forget to uncheck the box because by default mail sending has been already set. I request that the display of "Send an email invitation" be clearly shown without my clicking "View options". The reason is why many of our users will inquire us, asking about "what kinds of e-mails". Or, it could be better if…37 votesPlease submit this idea to the OneDrive Sharing and Collaboration section:

remove modern pages
This is some horrible nightmare that I woke up to. This "Modern Pages" roll-out is one of the worst things I've ever seen come from the Microsoft team. The ability for end-users to customize these new pages is extremely limited and now I'm getting backlash from our end users how ugly SharePoint is becoming and how we need to fix it (Like there's anything I can do). Now they want me to look at some other CMS and move to something different. At least give your customers some options.

We’ve made substantial investments in modern page authoring in SharePoint in both the authoring canvas and a long list of web parts. We are also delivering more now. If you have specific gaps that remain as you use the latest capabilities, please up a new specific feature request.

Pls fix right click
Why the hell would you not allow right clicking to open in a new tab? How could you mess up links so badly? The whole god forsaken internet is built upon links fuck damn it. I mean come on, I have to navigate to a tiny little button, left (not fucking right) click, pull mouse down to "copy link", press ctrl+C or copy link (AND AT THIS FUCKING POINT I'M BOILING LIKE A FUCKING KETTLE, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TWO CLICKS), open new tab (/OPEN A NEW DIMENSION DOOR TO HELL, AT THIS POINT THAT'S EQUAL EFFORT), ctrl+V (FUUUUUUUUUUU), Enter…

Integrate Office 365 group to SharePoint team sites.

"Home" page
This Sharepoint thing is a disaster when it comes to ease of navigation. I would also like to have a simple list of sites to chose from, your favorite/following/recent lists are crap and make your application painful to use.

In the SharePoint home experience you will see the sites you work in frequently, recently and also your followed sites. In the sites themselves you have the ability as a site owner to set up the site navigation you want for your users.

Invalidate displaying sites from "Hub Site association" in conjunction with deletion.
*English follows Japanese
■Title(件名): ハブサイトの削除時の動作について機能の変更を希望します。
Invalidate displaying sites from "Hub Site association" in conjunction with deletion.
■Description(内容):
ハブサイトとして登録したサイトをハブサイトとしての登録を解除せずに削除した場合、"ハブサイトの関連付け" に表示され続ける動作かと存じます。事前に解除をせずとも、削除済みのサイトに関しては "ハブサイトの関連付け" から表示されなくなるよう動作の変更を希望します。When a site registered as a Hub Site has deleted without deregistering, after that it is continuing to be displayed as a site in the "Hub site association" consecutively by current design.
It would be nice if the functionality will be improved that can delete displaying sites from "Hub Site association" in conjunction with deletion without canceling the registration.
2 votesThanks for the feedback. If the web part is set to dynamically display the associated sites, once a site is deleted after up to 24 hours the deleted site should disappear. If the site listed was manually curated, it would have to be manually removed.

Navigation disappears when zooming on hub site
On Chrome, when zoom set to 125%, all the navigation elements disappear from the page. If assets need to be removed, the navigation should definitely stay.
