Stop Opening Links in New Tabs
Hi everyone, Designing my next site model, and navigation automatically opens external links (even subsites or the parent, ie) in a new tab. This makes navigation difficult. Seems to me that I'm...
- While I'm seeing this new tab pattern in many of the new stuff released by Microsoft (Groups are a clear example) IMHO is not happening on all Office 365...can you be more specific about your design? I assume you are using modern team sites and if so, I think the default behaviour by desing (just a guess) is to open links on new tab...however if you are still on classic SharePoint, this pattern is not happening...at least from my experience
Modern sites. This shouldn't be a hard thing to give the option on. Hoping it changes.
Not sure this will happen if they consider this is by design :-(
I would hope they wouldn't expect navigation, even to sub/parent sites, to warrant a new window each time. External sites? Sure, I can see that. But shouldnt be to the sub/parent sites.
I'm seeing this as well. Very confusing and unintuitive.
I have posted an idea on the https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/17978740-stop-opening-links-in-new-tab-in-modern-pages addressing the issue.
Please vote it up to get some attention on it!
Thanks
