MicrosoftUPDATE: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups moving beyond First Release
MicrosoftIt's already possible to create subwebs in team sites associated with O365 groups! Give it a try!
I've been tring to create secondary libraries and the navigation is not consitant. Its a complete show stop issue for our work so we have to give up on Office 365 Groups until there is a consitant navigation and branding.
- I am also frustrated at the lack of consistent navigation given it's so easy to get lost, especially how hard groups are being pushed!
- Mark-KashmanAlways interested in UI/UX deeback. Can you be more specific to the areas where you get lost? Navigating within SharePoint, or from app to app - i.e. shared calendar to group's files?
- MarkThat is easy:
- In SharePoint it is not intuitive to find the other products (the link to go back to Group conversations is there), but trying to find the Group calendar, or Files tab, or planner - you have to click the site title for the navigation box to show up
- In the Calendar, sometimes you end up just looking at the calendar and lose the actual Groups navigation
- In the Notebook, you can only go back to the SharePoint site, not anything else, so you end up making multiple hops if you want to go from one to another
- Outlook is missing Planner
- In SharePoint, if you click on the "Files" option it takes you to the Shared Documents library, NOT the new Files tab
- In SharePoint, no option to navigate to Planner
- There is no solid entry point to Groups - having an interface that shows (1) all groups you are a member of and (2) maybe a quick link to each service would be ideal, then we could tell users "you can get there a million ways, but here is a logical entry point for Groups as a destination"
Bottom line, the Groups navigation should be the same across the board so the user can quickly move between workloads. Our users are confused as hell
I just created a User Guide for our users and had to include this slide:

My assumption is that you are trying to do this from the modern team home site, by clicking the New drop-down menu to the right of the team site name (see attached file), and then selecting "Document library."
Is that how you are doing it? Once created, you can then choose to incorporate it within the left-hand navigation of the site; you'd see the name you gave the new library.

- No, I am doing this from the modern Outlook page and there is no navigation to secondary libraries. It also only shows files in a flat format without groups. The issue we face is that Outlook has a whole different experience than the Office 365 Groups "team" landing page. One of these needs to take precedence IMO
I am accessing groups via OWA (screenshot attached), when I click on the more tab I can only see "Planner" where I am expecting to see "Site" I can see this when logging in with an account which is in first release on the same tenant.
