First Release - Doesn't apply to OneDrive?
I don't know about these specific changes, how they might relate to a roadmap item for example, but there remains an element of unpredictability with Office 365 change management. Not much of a consolation I know but despite best efforts, sometimes things come out of the blue still! It has got a lot better, though. Hopefully, someone can chip in with some particulars and whether this was unexpected.
I can confirm that these changes were not visible to our first release users. A few days ago, they went live for all our users at once.
I don't know for sure if this is the case, but it is important to know that many changes in Office 365 are not applicable selectively (i.e. only to some users in the tenant): in such cases the rollout is for all users or for none.
Hence, if you have only some users in First Release, and not the whole tenant, it could very well happen that some changes are rolled out to all users at once, without first being visible to FR users.
- I can tell you that First Release also applies to OneDrive and the changes you have just described were first in First Release...in particular the new sharing dialog that is intended to simplify how we share files in OneDrive. In regards of the second change, I think is also correct bearing in mind the separation between Site Groups and sites in general is disappearing
