M365 Changelog: (Updated) OneDrive – Simplified Sharing

MC560718 – Updated July 5, 2023: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft is completely revamping the Sharing control to help you and your organization share more easily and confidently. You can focus on the people you want to share with and how you want to share with them. The link scope is always shown at the bottom of the dialog and can be modified at the top-right, under the settings gear, to best fit your scenarios prior to sharing with others. The copy link section now returns a quick success toast when the link successfully copied to clipboard. The ability to share to Outlook is still available for users who enabled it in the top menu.
