Announcing a more intuitive sharing experience across Microsoft 365 for better collaboration

I understand the need to make it easy for people to share documents but there does need to be some recogntion that SharePoint permissions are usually set for a reason i.e. to limit access to a specified group of people with a common purpose. Sharing a file or folder outside of that group breaks the inheritance of permissions and can cause havoc if there is a need to amend the site permissions at a later date. The new permissions will not ripple down to any files or folders with unique permissions. For that reason we now disable file sharing at site level by default. 

I assume that the improvements announced above will not override any existing site settings? It would be helpful to make any site restrictions really clear at the point of sharing to minimise persistent requests to site admins.

Thanks!
