How to navigate between your Microsoft 365 locations and files with New harmon.ie?

New harmon.ie has two views — the Home view and the Content view. To learn what each view shows, read Get to know New harmon.ie. Use them to browse through your Microsoft 365 locations and files:

Browse your locations

Use the navigation path

In the Content view, the navigation path shows where you are and lets you move back up the path.

• The navigation path shows the path to your current location and adapts to the available space:
  • When the full path fits, it appears as a breadcrumb trail on its own line.
  • When the path is too long to fit, it collapses into a menu () that stands in for the hidden parent locations. Select it to open them as a drop-down list, with the nearest parent at the top and the top-level site at the bottom.
• Select any segment of the path to jump straight to that level.
• Hover over a location name to see its full path, in case it is too long to display.

Move back and forward

Use the Back and Forward buttons to move through the locations you have recently visited, the same way you navigate in a web browser.

• Back () returns you to the previous location.
• Forward () returns you to where you were before you selected Back.
• Going to Home clears your back and forward history; navigation history starts fresh from there.
