This change will roll out from late July to mid-August 2025 and requires no action from users. Update internal documentation accordingly. Introduction We’re enhancing the Add Shortcut to OneDrive experience to make it more intuitive and consistent across Microsoft 365. This update improves discoverability and supports a more streamlined file access workflow in OneDrive and SharePoint document libraries. When will this happen General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late July 2025 and expect to complete by mid-August 2025. How this will affect your organization Users will see the “Add Shortcut to OneDrive” command appear before the “Sync” command in the command bar.
