Setting Alerts on OD4B files

Are alerts supposed to work on OD4B?  The option to set alerts is not in the new UI, if you switch to Classic OD and turn the Ribbon on you can set them, but they don't seem reliable. Thanks - Greg

    We are missing both the Post to Yammer and the Alert me.  Can someone please direct me on how to get those features turned on.

     

    Thanks

      As we have discussed on the thread, this actions are not part of the new UI...I believe the Post to Yammer feature has been removed from SPO and we have to see what's happening with the alerts one

        I have a BIG problem to share the info about to setting alerts with my collegues.

        I can't tell them to create an Alert to receive a message when a person update a file they have to:

        - switch to Classic OD

        - turn the Ribbon on

        - click on data collection

        - click on Alert settings

         

        I believe that the way to go is really tortuous...

        That's not possible that Microsoft can't place a simple icon on the new interface!!

    Hmmm ... that is not what I see.  I only see the New control when I do NOT have a file selected. When I select a file I see: Share, Get a link, Download, Delete, Move to, Copy to, Rename, Version history. Screen snip attached.

      I attached the screenshot to my last post, but that means you have to download it and open it.   Let me see.. do I insert a photo? Do I just paste it in here.  Let me try pasting it.

      Ok - I used 'Insert a Photo' to get the screen snip here.

      I would love to know what is going on with Alerts in OD4B.  Greg

        I'm seeing what you are seeing, no Alerts. 

        My feeling is that they are pushing us to use Delve to find out what is changing in Office365 and not via e-mail Alerts.
