Can you set the Quick Launch Menu as to default as collapsed with Modern Pages?
Just a quick update - I've noted our SharePoint homepage

Couldn't agree more. It's these simple things which makes us hold the rollout to modern pages. Hope to see this looked into soon.
now appears to have a collapsed Quick Launch list as default.
I haven't made any changes that would effect this, so I guess Microsoft has noted feedback and changed the default behavior.
We have noticed this as well. Some users are asking for them to be expanded others are happy for them not to be expanded.
It would be a great feature to have the option and it is disappointing that this has been changed without any warning.
Yep - warning would have been nice - not everyone out in the world of SharePoint wanted the menu's collapsed, in fact this has already caused issues with my new users, who are confused as to where all the sub options have gone.
I appreciate that others out there don't feel the same and that's why Microsoft made this change - but why no notice - and why isn't there an option to change it back?
Does anyone have any guidance they can give on how we might revert to the menu's being expanded by default?
- I have spent some time looking into this and there does not appear to be anything that can be done, out of the box. Happy for someone to prove me wrong though.
Yes I saw this too but this is not what I'd like !
Highly prefer the expanded menu for me.
The main issue I'm having now is that I don't know how to make that the root items (such as Image Library in your screenshot) to be expanded when clicked over their name.
Right now it's opening the page associated to this menu item.
I think I'm missing something...
Hi Damien,
For me, expanding the menu is as simple as clicking the downwards facing arrow next to each category.
Yes that seems to be pretty simple to me to but all my users don't get it and I need to explain to each of them one by one...
edit: i dont have the same effect than you when I click on the name though.
What kind of link is "Open Intelligence" when you edit the menu?
- Seeing this too, which is great. However, at least in my tenant, when you follow a link to a other than the home page the menu stays collapsed and the top category is not highlighted either. Making it a little tricky for the user to understand where they are.
- That's not how I have my tenant setup - when you visit a sub-site from the root tree, only the folders within that tree are then displayed. This works well for now, apart from not being 100% obvious how to return to the root tree.
I agree the improvements you suggest would be very welcome. The top category could be shaded in a colour taken from your colour scheme.
