Please excuse me if this is not the right place to come with this suggestion, I welcome any tips on where this request would get the right attention.
I would love to see a more detailed track of updates to the new Docuement Library experience. When I look at the http://fasttrack.microsoft.com/roadmap?filters=sharepoint filtered for SharePoint, the project "SharePoint Online - modern document library experience" is located under "Lauched". The descriptioin entails the following: "...And finally, when the team needs to bring in files from OneDrive for Business, or publish files between document libraries, users can click Move to and Copy to move and copy files when they are needed in other locations across Office 365, without generating unnecessary versions of the same files."
Now, my point is that this description includes details that, as far as I understand, are actually not yet "Fully released updates that are now generally available for applicable customers" (the definition of Launced on the Roadmap). As stated in this discussion, there are functions that are not yet released:
We have more plans to enhance the Copy/Move functions in the coming months:
- Adding support for all file sizes, beyond today’s 50MB limit. (We know the vast majority of files in OneDrive are below this limit today.)
- Copy files among SharePoint team sites.
- Finally, we will also add the ability to move files, as well as copy files, among SharePoint Team sites as well as OneDrive sources.
If the "New Library Experience" could be broken down to a more detailed overview of what you are currently working on, customers would need to spend less time searching sources like this, or open support tickets, to know if/when features will become available. Example features that I have to follow threads to get updates on, rather than just check what's in the pipeline, are (1) move files beween site within SharePoint and; (2) Global Navigation inheritence in the new libraries (that are not yet here, but critical to many customers).
