SharePoint Online - Manage Access has changed
Hi, has anybody noticed the new change to SharePoint Online today with the Manage Access option on libraries and folders?
Before you could scroll right down to the end of this screen and click on Advanced Permissions and make unique permissions on a folder or a file, this has now been removed.

Every time someone at MS goes to the bathroom it cames with a different idea...
Direct access was very easy to use...now where is it?
I don't like to share links within my team...i simply grant full access to the folders they need
Telmo_Palma the frustrating this is there is no communication. So what you told a user yesterday, has changed today.
You still can give direct access by clicking on the 3 dots and advanced settings. They haven't taken away that option, just hidden it better.
laceyk SharePoint Online's Manage Access no longer allows direct access to Advanced Permissions.
- Hi Jose, it does under the 3 dots --> Advanced Settings as per above screenshot

I was surprised by this change on Monday as well. When you click on the three dots next to the "X" you should get the option to go to the "Advanced permissions".Yes. It has been applied Globally by Microsoft in all the tenant (At least I am seeing in my all tenants located in different region).

Now you can go to advanced settings only using Manage Access menu which is visible into ECB and Information Panel as shown in below screen shots:Click on three dots to navigate into Advanced Settings page.
