Saving to Groups from Office Desktop Applications
- Nov 07, 2017
Angus,
Appreciate the feedback and keep it coming!
The experience you are seeing is what will likely be in the first release.
To each of your points:
1) We are looking into different ways of making this list a bit easier to manage for future releases. The ability to remove a Group from the list is one of them, as well as supporting ways to filter the list.
2) I'll need to follow up on the ordering of the followed list. I believe it is ordered by when you followed the site on the SharePoint experience...
3) The ability to 'pin' a group is also something we are looking at for future releases. We already support a way to do this within the Office apps (you can pin a specific location to the Save As experience) but I think you are asking for something that appears wherever you access a Group (whether it be Outlook, SharePoint or Office) - correct?
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks very much for the clear update - much appreciated.
I'm on Office Insider, so am I right in thinking the experience I am seeing (with Frequent and Following) is what will make it into first release?
Couple of thoughts if that's OK...
1. Frequent is a bit messy and long in my case (35 sites), and there doesn't seem to be a way to remove entries?
2. Could/should following be in alphabetical order?
3. Could there be a favourites/pin facility, as in standard folders?
This is definitely getting there - I can just see it being a bit overwhelming for users as the frequent list fills up, and you can't see the more refined 'following' list without scrolling down...
Thanks
Angus
