SharePoint Online - Document Libraries

Question

Hi,

Given a layout like this:

Can we make the Libraries drop down expanded by default, across lots of Team Sites? The current design is generally poor UI/UX anyway since if you expand Libraries, click a Library (which navigates to a new page), Libraries is collapsed again!
Can people 'Pin' favourite document libraries to outside of the Libraries drop down so they don't have to keep expanding the Libraries drop downs

Also is it possible to remove the left vertical nav bar:

Thanks

Hi @Lanky Doodle ,

According to your description, do they have to access all libraries? If not you could set library unique permission for different users then expand library like resing said.

You could use following powershell command to disable app bar in SharePoint online.

PowerShell command:

Connect-SPOService -Url https://xxx-admin.sharepoint.com -credential ******@xxx.onmicrosoft.com  
  
Set-SPOTemporarilyDisableAppBar $true

On a SharePoint site, you can edit the navigation menu. For example, you can promote any of the sub-links for the individual libraries. After promoting the links, they will always show by default for all users of the site.

Also, for libraries you visit often as a user, you can add them to your shared libraries in OneDrive so you can navigate back to them.
