SharePoint Online Text Editor Ribbon Items Disappear and File Editor will not save changes
I am still experiencing issues where I click on Open in Text Editor but after I make my changes, I don't have the option to save. intersign
This issue has still not been resolved for us (O365 SharePoint and Overdrive) – it's now been 9 days since it first broke.
Do Microsoft staff monitor these forums or is there a better way to submit major issues to the team?
Also wondering if there is a publicly visible change-log for 0365 when they roll out updates…

Michael Murphy after reading your post I checked to see if I was still able to see the text editor ribbon because I have not used it in several days. Unfortunately mine disappeared again!?
Can someone please explain how it can be resolved one day and disappear the next? I do know that rollouts do happen at different times for users and not all at once, but I am unsure how something can change overnight back and forth like this particular issue?

intersign this has now been resolved for us today (on OneDrive and SharePoint).
Hopefully it will not revert back like it did with you.Thanks to the Microsoft team for fixing!

So this issue has appeared again this week. The toolbar was gone on Monday and Tuesday, back working again on Wednesday, then gone again Thursday and Friday 🤷♂️
The only difference this time is that the save feature actually still works using the keyboard shortcut! So you can make your changes to you text file, and then use the keyboard shortcut ‘Ctrl + S’ to save. You will not see any notification that it has successfully saved but if you refresh the page the changes should still be there.
