SharePoint is great, but keeping track of document libraries that matter to you can be source of frustration. These two simple, but excellent, features coming to OneDrive will help get you to your key documents faster and easier.
TL;DR:
Microsoft are adding the capability to pin shared document libraries to the Quick Access section in OneDrive (web) to easily find and access the places where you regularly work. They are also surfacing a list of your recently used shared libraries on the More Places page within OneDrive to help you find the places that you’ve recently opened files from. Due late March for some, due mid to late April May for most of us.
Details:
You will be able to pin shared libraries to the Quick Access section in the left nav of your OneDrive, using the “Pin to Quick Access” command for document libraries within OneDrive and SharePoint (at the document library level, this will not be available once you navigate into a folder or subfolder in a site). Pinning a document library will add it to the top of Quick Access section. You can of course un-pin document libraries from the Quick Access section too.
You will also see a Recent list of document libraries that have been recently used in the OneDrive left nav and “More places” page.
While Microsoft expect that this will be a more predictable and easy-to-understand list in the long term, they appreciate that we may get confused by the list of Teams & Sites in the left nav changing. They we recommend that we:
- Pin (as above) any missing places that we regularly use to our Quick Access section, by:
- Accessing the teams & sites which were formerly available in the OneDrive left nav from the Frequent list in SharePoint Home, and then:
- Using the Pin to Quick Access command to ensure that these sites will appear in the OneDrive left nav under Quick access.
Availability:
Due late March for some, due mid to late April May for most of us.
