Unable to Manage Alerts in Modern Lists & Libraries
I'm going to bring up the topic that IngeborgHawighorst posted a few weeks ago, becuase there is still no answer, and no acknowledgement from Microsoft that they removed the ability for users to manage their own alerts.
In the classic library experience there was a button in the Alert me dropdown titled Manage My Alerts.
This took you MySubs.aspx where individuals can view, MODIFY, or delete their own alerts.
In the modern experience, there is only a link to Alert me. There is no discoverable way for users to manage their existing alerts. Going to Site settings > Site Administration: User alerts takes you to sitesubs.aspx where users might have the option to delete their alerts if their permissions allow them to get there. This is NOT the same as letting end users manage their alerts.
What's the deal? Can anyone who actually knows anything about why the feature was removed explain what the plan is?

I dont think the "Feature was removed", i just think its not finished yet. I could be wrong
But,
You can setup new and improved alerts using Flow
just a thought
Thanks for the suggestion, but I am mostly worried about our 10,000+ external users who rely on alerts on our projects who aren't licensed Office 365 users (at least not licensed in our organization).
Also Flow has it's own issues - mainly allowing individuals the ability tochoose to automate the process of exposing our Business Data outside of the confines of the Office 365 environment. Which in our view is in direct conflict with the assurances provided in our enterprise agreement. Microsoft still has not addressed this very important issue, despite our requests.
So we do not support Flow, or provide it as an option.
LincolnDeMaris I agree there is a need of having an answer on this topic. Adding also danholme
