Hi,

 

Apart from the solutions suggested on the MST Support thread, has anyone tried selecting Document Library webpart and use the Ribbon for Sync option? OR at the bottom, underneath “Miscellaneous” selecting “Display Search box”?

    Remember the issue is happening in the modern UI, so no Ribbon Sync option

        i created a service request over a week a go and then Microsoft Project Support stated that it was by design for all site collection who are PWA enabled!

         

        As of friday we see a service health issue on SPO where they state that all of a sudden the sync button is gone.

         

        weird stuff hapening over there...

        hopefully they'll restore it asap, on all site collections effecting.
