Modern Library "Notify your team" option after upload - with uncontrollable or auditable results
This is a new feature that is still rolling out. The goal of the feature is to make it easier for users uploading files to a teamsite to notify others with existing access that the file is now available on the site. Recipients who are notified will receive an email with an existing access link to the file. We consider this a sharing action as the same flow could be accomplished through the use of our Share experience with the Existing access link type. At this time, we do not offer management or disable functionality for this feature. Thank you for sharing your feedback and please feel free to share additional feedback to help us improve this feature.
Much like the "Request Sign-Off" Flow, not being able to manage if these options are active/available is problematic for us. We were not even aware of the feature (note: a FULL search of the MS Roadmap did not mention it) and poof there it is, and so I wasn't able to get ahead of it and warn people about what it would do. Execs were emailed 3 documents they did not need to be bothered with. And as I could not reach the person using the feature by phone right away, my only option was to remove his access so he wouldn't send anymore out before I could talk to him about it.
Now today running a Power BI Visualization of a Modern List I got an error telling me "We couldn't parse OData response result. Error: The property 'EnableRequestSignOff' does not exist on type 'SP.List'." In order to move forward I had to go run the Sign Off Request Flow once on my list adding the column to my default view.
