Save for Later - within Document Libraries
Bryan Petersen Interesting. I have the iOS SharePoint app (and I also tried the iOS OneDrive app) and I can't seem to find the option in any files to "Save for Later" in the Document Libraries. The only place I can find that option is in the Recent Files list on the home screen within the app.
It does seem rather odd that there's only one obscure way to mark a document as Saved for Later, and it has to be done on a mobile app. I've seen plenty of screenshots of the option being available on the web (desktop) in the past, so I'm not sure why it was taken away. It would be a very useful feature when combined with the web part for allowing users to "bookmark" documents for themselves and find them easily in a web part on a Home Site.
Benjamin Bennett it appears to be a function of OneDrive (I see the option in the mobile SharePoint app on my Android, but only for OneDrive files - not SharePoint files).
LanceGibson it would be nice, but I think unlikely. I escalated a ticket a few tiers up with Microsoft Support, and they do not have any items in their public or private roadmap to bring this back (this was 3/4 months ago).
- I did notice that if you "pin" a document from desktop applications like word and excel from the recently opened area of "File" that it appears in this web part and the SharePoint default start page. But it's pretty hidden.
Has anyone heard of this feature potentially returning? We're running an effort to migrate from our legacy intranet to SharePoint. This is a feature of our legacy platform we'd like to retain.
