What Happened To Details Pane In SharePoint Lists???

[Michael Malloy]

• I understand MS is probably pushing to get lists in SharePoint to open inside the Lists app
• Within the past 2 days, I have seen 2 of my tenants (I'm on targeted release) update to where lists in SharePoint have a similar look/feel to lists in the LISTS app.
• I have also noticed that the "open in immersive mode" [this option is supposed to remove the SP navigation] arrows pop the SP List into the Microsoft Lists web version (with purple border at the top)
  • After you are in the MS Lists web look and feel, the "open in immersive mode" arrows change to "open in site"
• I guess all of the above is well and good...however, the thing that is most frustrating is the removal of the details pane!
  • Where did it go? I can't see it anywhere!
  • I use the details pane all the time to help determine who made changes, who deleted things, who added things, etc.
  • It's also the way many users edit list items! Arrrrggghhhh!
• Has anyone else experienced this?

@Michael Malloy I still see the details pane in our targeted release tenant: 

If the issue is specific to your tenants, I will suggest you to raise a support ticket with Microsoft directly and report this behavior. Follow: Get M365 support - online support 

Additional: You can also keep the SharePoint site elements like the header and navigation visible when SharePoint list is opening in the Lists app. 

Go to your SharePoint site settings > Navigation Elements settings and change below option: 

You can go to Navigation Elements settings page directly using the URL in this format:

Thanks...it looks like you have the update as well...but mine looks like this....I have tabs for the switching of views vs a drop down. I was already aware of the nav elements setting...it did nothing. What's also weird is that I have 2 tenants that look the same WITHOUT the details pane!

Same here. The button to open the details pane is gone. The only work around that I have found so far, is to use the "Edit in grid view" button.

Yeah...this is pretty goofy. Hasn't dropped to my GA users and I hope it doesn't unless they fix this!
