What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

Updated December 22, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

How this will affect your organization

After this rollout, users can still work with files and folders in the Microsoft SharePoint document library linked to the channel. All existing functionality in the Files tab will be available in the In library view of the Shared tab in channels. The In posts view in the Shared tab will display all files and links shared in channel posts:

Users can use the order the files by date using the Recent view and then filter by Files or Links. Before this rollout, this functionality was only available in chats:

Users can use the In posts view to find links:

These changes to channels will be available by default.

Coming soon after this rollout for the In posts view of the Shared tab in channels: Keyword search
