How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Rearrange all Tabs within a Channel

I know a similar request is marked as "We have this!", but it's not possible to move all tabs.

I can rearrange the tabs that I add, but Conversations and Files cannot be moved.

I would like to have a channel that starts with a Planner tab, and another that starts with a Wiki tab.

Not everyone channel will be based around conversations, so it should be possible to move the Conversation and File tab to the far right.

    I would also like the ability to choose the order of the tabs in a channel - thinking of moving to Teams for our Virtual Learning Environment but it would be nice to be able to prioritize which content comes first.

    Hard fixing conversations seems like some "clever" idea a decision maker had when he/she only ever considered using teams in one way. It should be such a simple fix, yet Microsoft seriously dragging their heels. This is currently a totally unnecessary restriction.

    YES! Ridiculous not to give users control of which tabs they see (if at all) and in the order that makes most sense for their org.
    Implement ASAP please!

    It is confusing if you insert a SharePoint tab with the files tab -- to average users. Need to hide or reorder to account for this.

    Allowing Conversations tab to be moved or removed from a Channel would be a huge improvement. It is the #1 frustration of our company with MS Teams as most of our Channels are used for file sharing, so it creates confusion or extra clicks for every activity.

    Yes, please make it possible to have a channel start with some sort of a homepage type thingy...
    Files and Conversations should definitely be movable!

    Just discovered this forum because I was trying to Google how to rearrange all tabs to move conversations and files away from the initial view when opening a channel.
    What is the current status of this work. Seems like the question has been asked a lot over a long period of time

    Please add this feature! Let us remove, add, rearrange tabs as we see fit in each channel.

    If I could Edit the Conversations tab to be less pushy with images that might help. And not being able to set a default column & order on the Files tab is equally annoying. But both of those pale vs. not being able to select the order of ALL the tabs....

    We have teams who primary activity is file sharing, others is Planner etc. Having the ability to re-arrange the tabs lets us deliver content to teams without them feeling like they "have to use converstations"
