    RFCom below is correct. They have decided to not listen to the masses and will not change this feature. It must cost too much to make the change or else they would. Their excuse of "This maintains a consistent initial user experience across all channels." is a poor one.

    This should be a simple fix. Allow the user to arrange the tabs in the order that they most use.

    Please please please please allow users to select which tab populates upon entering a new channel!

    Agree with others - sadly, while my team has grown to love Teams over the last couple years, we have failed over and over again to actually use the Teams and Channels module altogether, which is 100% because my team keeps thinking that Posts are a substitute for the Chat module they're so used to, and they complain every time I try to reintroduce Teams/Channels that the nested Post threading and generic notification pop-ups (no content/first line) are unacceptable - honestly I'm tired of blaming them - if I could just get rid of the Posts tab altogether I could introduce a whole new workflow platform to my business.

    Agreed. 'Posts' and 'Files' are not the most important information for team channels. A new visitor (who we want to engage) is better served by key channel info (PowerBI metrics, design documents, etc.) which are on other tabs. Clicking on the channel should default to the first tab and we should be able to set what that is. Getting wide adoption of teams as a project tool is slowed by the impression by many in our organization that Teams is just Skype. Of course that not the case...it's a powerful team information aggregation tool. But that idea is unfortunately reinforced by showing a chat/post window by default.

    I agree - I too would like a wiki page to be the "homepage' so to speak and move the posts and files to the right. Thank you

    Same here, this is urgently needed. This is an obstacle to user adoption. Please put this in an update as quickly as possible.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please make the Files and the posts tabs also rearangeable.

    We would like a website as homepage on some of our teams.

  • JoyB commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes Please add this ability. We would keep the file and post tabs just make the SP site the first tab on a few of out channels.

    As I am researching this I noticed this ask has been floating around since 2017. Is there any idea on an ETA for an answer?

    Thanks for the support and the forum.

    Agreed - urgently required is the ability of page owners to hide, delete or re-order the Posts and Tabs fields. Posts particularly just get in the way, I have more important stuff in Teams I want to draw attention to.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I agree with the others.

    Please allow owners to rearrange/remove tabs Files and Posts.

  • Pia commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I agree with the others.

    Please make it possible ASAP to rearrange Files ahead of Posts.
