Sharepoint Online Permissions options changed badly?
Hi all, I've noticed that the SharePoint online permissions tab/manage access tab has been changed. In document libraries, there is no option to break folder inheritance. From today, there is...
Thanks for jumping in here Bruno Aleixo :)
There should be an "Advanced" link and it is supposed to be in the same release as the new pane. If this doesn't resolve itself tomorrow, please let us know so we can investigate further.
Appreciate everyone's feedback here!

I've tested it and changing permissions in the new interface does break permission inheritance behind the scenes, which means we have a way to still do this in modern. There are however two relevant downsides still:
- How do you restore permission inheritance
- How do you assign permissions beside Read and Edit (many valid scenarios include custom permission levels)
If anyone finds the answer please share.
Thanks Marcos, I can confirm the same.
If you want do either of those things, we are going to have to do them in the classic experience for the time being.
Microsoft needs to make sure we can do these things in the modern experience or re-add the advanced permissions button to the modern experience before they decide to remove the classic experience button for good (I am assuming they are planning to remove it).
