customize the new library experience
- Stefan, top navigation will appear in modern pages, but only if you are using the default team site navigation provider - not the publishing navigation provider, or the managed navigation provider. We are working on a more full customization story for all modern pages, including the capability to build and host your own navigation controls on the page.
I was able to just paste text from the clipboard by using CTRL+V ;-)
"We heard your feedback on extensibility and customization in particular, and we’ll have more to share in a future update. We plan to add support for customizing the page using modern techniques. Until then, customized library pages should stay in classic mode."
It's really frustrating to read such vague statements. What are "modern techniques"? Does this mean, that we should still use JSLink, Custom Actions, Custom Workflows and Client-side scripts and they will also work in "Modern Experiences" in the future?
These vague statements hinder us currently to serve our customers with sustainable solutions.

That is already a big fat no on Custom Actions (at least non-menu ones). By the way, it was working perfectly well (i had my customizations working flawlessly in the modern experiences as well as the "old" experiences), then we stupidly started asking questions and they realized they left in the Custom Actions by accident and then took it away :(
This is a good example where "transparency" would greatly benefit the consumer, build trust and excitement, instead of keeping it all under wraps. Give us some kind of indication of what you are thinking, and make sure that it covers all of the necessary use cases. In the mean time we are having to put off our management/VP/CIO on why we cant use the pretty new tools because Microsoft no longer supports our customizations that we spend time and dollars on....
