navigation bar moved to left
Dears, The navigation bar has been moved to the left. How can I change it back to be on the bottom?

MBZ1_ Moving the navigation bar to the left side is not my choice but can live with it. What I have a serious issue with is that my shortcuts are no longer accessible, as is the full list of folders. Does anyone know how to get the folder list and shortcuts back? I am concerned about the temporary reprieve of the /Safe mode start in case that wipes my customizations. I have a LOT of custom views, conditional formats, rules, etc... All I want is to be able to get my shortcuts and full folder list back.

I opened a support case with Microsoft this morning to get more info on the change and received a callback within 10 minutes. 🙂
This change is coming. Yes, you can do the /Safe mode thing to temporarily move the navigation bar back under the folder pane however future updates will most likely make this a permanent change. I did NOT test this as I wasn't sure if that would also permanently mess with my custom views, conditional formats, rules, and all the other tweaks I have in my profile.
I wasn't as concerned with the location of the navigation bar, only that I didn't initially see where to access my shortcuts or my full folder list. They are both accessible via the ... elipsis at the bottom of the bar.
You can right click on each of the various icons to pin them to the list, move them up or down, get to options, and various other choices depending on the icon choice.
Thanks to Rona_atPEP too

I too would like to voice my objections to this change. Other users at our company are also not happy with the change. I have too much real estate on my screen & this limits it.
- krm62May 05, 2022Copper ContributorRandy, thanks for this info. I can't see an ellipsis anywhere......thoughts?
- krm62May 05, 2022Copper ContributorNone of the solutions explained above have worked for me. Any other ideas?
