EXCEL 2016 FOR MAC PIN TO RECENT WINDOWS
For now we are relying on Quick Access shortcuts, which is Windows 10, but I believe to be the same essentially as Network Locations in Windows 7. Whether pinning is here to stay I don't know. However, a recent addition was a 'Recent' tab in Excel and I can still pin and unpin recent folders/locations in that tab. I had read it was being phased out, and some users can, some can't do it. I still don't really understand where the different Office client teams are going with Pinning. I wish I had better answers to this! Hopefully someone else does or there is an improvement on the way. The joys of working on a platform that is still being built it seems! Guidance on adding sites to Trusted Sites etc has been followed but nothing has totally resolved the File Explorer QA connection issues yet.
Opening IE and logging in again generally fixes it but we really need it to work all the time if this is the way users are expected to access their files. The QA locations are not synced with the locations added within Office, and when a location is added via File Explorer the connection is flaky, sometimes it works, sometimes it gives an error.
However, adding sites or doc libs to Quick Access via File Explorer is less happy. Pinnign sites and doc libs to Quick Access FROM WITHIN OFFICE CLIENTS seems to work, the connection 'sticks' and a Quick Access location within Word syncs to Excel etc. Our latest focus is on using Quick Access as it seems MS are moving us towards this (any clear guidance from them that you know of would be welcome!) but that isn't straightforward either.

It's making it impossible at the moment to give our users a coherent story of how to perform different tasks. The same users can log on to different machines, all with the latest Office client, and have different options available in terms of pinning and the Recent tab (or lack of). However, this change has only appeared on some clients, despite the versions of Office all being the latest.

The story was already unclear re pinning, but a recent update to Office seems to specifically address this issue and adds a new 'Recent' tab to Office 2016 clients. Just thought I'd update where we are with this as it's proving a big issue. On a seperate but related issue, opening Sharepoint sites in File Explorer via Webdav and pinning those sites to Quick Access is likely to be popular with our users, but it drives a cart and horses through our attempts to move people away from Network Locations and get them actually interacting with SharePoint! I'm confused where MS are going with this. So now I don't know if I am looking at a bug, a permissions issue, or something else entirely.

However, if the pinning feature is gone, why can I still do it? I had a user who cannot pin sign into the Office 2016 on the same PC as I had signed into and I could pin and he couldn't. In reading around, I found a long thread suggesting that the Excel team had deliberately removed pinning and the 'correct' method was adding locations to Quick Access. Within the IT team we can all pin and see our history. But in Excel, a lot of our users not only cannot pin but they have no recent history accumulating either.
In Word, we've been showing users how to 'Pin' folders and that generally works for most people. The biggest problem our users are having (apart from Outlook attachments, don't get me started on that) is accessing files and folders they regularly use in Excel. We've just moved our users to 365 after a short pilot phase. Sorry if this is a topic that's ben done to death but I've had a look and I can't see anything really.
