Allow Site Admins to Disable "Return to Classic Sharepoint" Link
Displaying the "Return to Classic Sharepoint" and "Exit Classic Experience" links, with no option to disable these links, is a terrible idea. When a user switches from the new, modern interface to classic, it allows them to view links that they are not otherwise permitted to view, thereby overriding permissions. I don't want our users to have ability to switch between the two experiences.

I have to tried to inject the custom css using SPFX ApplicationCustomizer Extension to 'display:none'. But there is no luck to disable the link "Return to Classic Sharepoint". Please help me to disable this link, as client is not willing to display the link in Modern SharePoint Online site.

This need to be fixed, as if we customized the forms using power app, then the users should not be able to use the classic mode, as in this case we need to apply the customization to the classic mode as well..

I hv same issue. I developed some PowerApps to control data input for users and they can avoid the controls by switching to classic mode :(

Google lead me here to read that this cannot be disabled. Please make this an option!

I filed a bug for this issue, there is a good chance this will be fixed. I do not have an ETA yet.

Agreed. This should be optionally disabled.

PowerApps forms will also not work properly when someone returns to classic sharepoint.
It would be great if we have setting to control this behavior at sitecollection level.

Will this be resolved or not? A lot of confusion comes in Flow and Forms because of the classic view on modern sites.

Is there at least any work around with a script editor to disable it? I have really a security issue, as for no obvious reason my PowerApps form is not used in the classic experience anymore...
I currently minimize all web parts in classic experience so users cannot modify a Sharepoint list and have to use PowerApps - Security by obscurity! Good that the majority of my users do not know SharePoint -

This is literally a terrible experience without the control over this annoying link. The modern experience has been in place for so long that few people actually need or are expected to use the classic experience.

This is really needed as I am currently facing an issue where users will be able to see data that they are not supposed to see.

As per kapardhi's comments, the ability to remove to option selectively would be very useful.

I'd prefer to have both the options available but add an ability to set permissions for them for Site Admins to control users from switching the view.
