SharePoint Online Settings menu change?

After this change takes place, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, your OneDrive for Business admin center, and your SharePoint Online admin center will all be updated with a new NavBar that is aligned with the NavBar experience in Outlook.com and Office.com. The Office 365 NavBar provides shared features and capabilities that bring together OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, and Outlook, and simplifies your interaction with the NavBar.

 

If you’ve done work to brand OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online, your settings will remain unchanged. If you haven’t re-branded the NavBar, you’ll notice that the default color for the apps has changed to blue. The following are some of the changes you’ll see in the new NavBar:

 

- In SharePoint Online, the Gear icon now opens a pane to show the same settings options that you’re familiar with. There’s also a new section under settings that takes you to all Microsoft 365 settings.

 

- In OneDrive for Business “Settings” and “Restore my OneDrive” are now the top selections in the settings pane.

 

- The help pane in both OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online also have a new look. You'll find the same custom links that you've set up, but it's good to review that the links are working as they may get more attention in the new pane from your users. This change is not yet available for GCC organizations. We will begin gradually rolling this change out to Targeted Release organizations starting today, and the roll out will be completed worldwide by early March 2019.
