- I can’t pin or add my favorite folders to the left menu for quick access. > you can use M365 favorites for any elements:
- Searching is a major issue. The search function only works based on the current folder I’m in, and to perform an effective search, I have to go back to the root folder every time. > you have a bread crumb to a higher level at the bottom from a search page:
I hope one or two issues are answered with this.
