Does anyone have a solid idea of when the "Get a Link" button functionality switched over to "Copy Link?" I just noticed my tenant has undergone this change, and I want to be able to tell my users when this happened. Also, does anyone know of a way to change the default settings so the "Allow Editing" box is unchecked?

SolutionHi @Matt Coats,
We changed over to "Copy Link" when we rolled out the new sharing dialog. This has been in-progress for the last two months so your tenant may have seen that changes anytime in that period.
Also, we currently have no feature that allows you to uncheck "Allow editing" by default. Stay tuned though... :)

Thanks for the information. I will eagerly await news of a way to change the default option for editing rights; I would prefer to see that the opportunity for human error this presents is modifiable as soon as possible.

This looks great, much clearer what's happening. I wish our new Tenant had this new functionality, hopefully we will see this coming through to us soon!

And "Share" has also changed with the similar window. So is "Anyone" = to "Everyone" and "People in [Company]" = to "Everyone except external". Will they continue to map and eventually change to the new name references?

Love it! The new wording is very clear. Thank you!

@Andrew Silcock, @Paul Beiler, glad you're enjoying the feature!
@Laurie Gonyea, close, but not quite! "Anyone" is equivalent to an anonymous link (i.e. anyone who possesses the link can access the item) and "People in <Company>" is similar. The "Everyone" and "Everyone except external users" claims are special "objects" in the people picker that map to a set of users. Think of them like pre-built security groups.
Thanks!

I think this was rolled out as a part of Onedrive on demand feature.

Hi @Stephen Rice, this is neat functionality. I just need to explain it to my end users so they can start using it. Are you aware of any official Microsoft help pages that describe this? So far, i've only been able to find pages that show the old way of doing this. Thank you!

@Andrew Silcock: Great post. I'm a baffled Site Collection Administrator/Site Owner as well. I can't explain to my end users the meaning of "The recipient you entered doesn't have permission to access the item." Nor am I able to tell them what to do. My only recourse, once again, is to revert back to Classic View, where the sharing UI--while not perfect--is at least production-ready. Maybe @Stephen Rice, or somebody more closely aligned with the SharePoint Product Group (rather than OneDrive), can clarify your excellent questions...
