New Modern UI settings in HelpDesk for Office 365 and SharePoint Online
As a SharePoint user, you’ve surely noticed that Microsoft has been nudging the users towards new Modern UI for quite some time. Though there still are some pros and cons of picking the best SharePoint experience for your goals, little doubt remains that the Modern UI provides for the end-user a more flexible, easier to use, and, most importantly, responsive and mobile-friendly experience.
The Plumsail HelpDesk for Office 365 has brought the Modern UI features to interact with tickets and contacts a while ago. We’re now glad to announce that the recent update has upped our Modern UI game!
