You can collapse the New and Recommended sections by selecting the small arrow next to their titles.

Quick access list

In Power BI Home, a list of reports you've recently accessed is displayed below the Recent section. Each item shows the file name, its location, and the last time you opened the file.

When you select the Shared with Me button at the top of the quick access list, the quick access list displays files that are shared by people in the same organization. Providing a central location for shared files makes it easier to work together in Power BI.
