MicrosoftAs an organization that relies on Microsoft SharePoint to manage our corporate intranet, we appreciate the latest and greatest improvements Microsoft makes to Sharepoint online. We're generally excited to what's next! However, the implementation and rollout of this latest feature of "Post and send" has caused us some significant challenges and has disrupted our internal communication processes for our content publishers. (Not to mention the reactionary response and troubleshooting we had to go through to learn more) To improve the user experience and better serve organizations of our size, we recommend that the default behavior be to simply post news first, with an optional feature to send an email notification afterward (and not the other way around as the current UI presents). Simply seeing "Post news" as usual, then a pop-up asking if an email should be sent would be much more desirable. Furthermore, an option to disable/opt out of this feature would be beneficial. This approach would allow for greater control over internal communications, ensuring that important updates are shared without inadvertently overwhelming employees' inboxes.
My hope is that enhancements are thoroughly tested with key contributors or MVPS first before making such changes before rolling out to the masses. It doesn't seem or feel like that is case as certainly this would have been caught.
