2023-06-21MC How AffectAs described in this documentation, the SharedWith and SharedWithDetails column do not accurately reflect the permissions and people who have access to an item. As such, the column has been hidden by default in OneDrive and SharePoint for 3+ years. With this change, we will no longer update the SharedWith fields during sharing operations. The data within the column will move to being considered customer content and will not be updated or changed by Microsoft.
In a future update, we will stop provisioning this column entirely.

Most users already use Manage Access and the Sharing Dialog to manage and understand who has access to their content and these experiences are not impacted by this change. We are continuing to develop and improve the Manage Access experience to make understanding permissions easy and simple for users.
