These extension points are key for the success on rolling the side bar out to customers.A Team is a place where you can collaborate with your colleagues or with people from other organisations. This would help to bring smaller applications, they need every day closer to the user, while maintaining the context where they are. Side Note: In future it would also be great to have the possibility to remove all provided information and extend it with custom functionalities. The functionality can be amazing, this do not help when the user not use or it at the end of the day.Īll heat maps were created using Feng GUI. It has a different purpose and got placed on SharePoint for consistency, not as a real improvement. Just because SharePoint is an app on Microsoft 365, it does not serve and behave like an app at all. Has the App Bar had a slight potential to serve as global navigation? I don’t think so the navigation must live inside the content and not on a sidetrack. When it comes to mostly static web content on SharePoint intranets, sadly, not so much. With all these applications like Teams, PowerBI, Planner, and so on, which are highly interactive applications, this kind of navigation makes a lot of sense. Hopefully, this user education goes well for you because it is easier for users to ignore the App Bar than to use it. With explanation, convincing, and consulting of the end-user, it can serve your intranet well. Give the user some global navigation hub.
All pros and cons, the decision was made to place it there. Microsoft well thought the SharePoint app bar before its implementation. Even the SharePoint link is still a better option because it brings you to a better overview than possible in the app bar. If users are lost, they still have the search or bookmark to return to their area of choice. The most important links and navigation is in the content of your pages, not the app bar. While it is a fundamental tool in Microsoft Teams, it is not in Microsoft SharePoint. Microsoft Teams and other applications have it, which must have led to the false impression that Microsoft SharePoint needs navigation like this too. In the case of teams, you cannot do anything without an App Bar like this. It is well designed, and think about Microsoft Teams without this navigation, you cannot do anything within the Application. Microsoft Teams has a sort of App Bar on the left side and is the fundamental tool for navigation there. Reason 1: The location and function of the app bar The truth is that it will be soon neglected and forgotten by your end-users. Information architects praise it as “The Solution” for global navigation.
It’s been already a while since Microsoft introduced the new SharePoint App Bar.
