Question

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed that minimal download strategy appears to be not working in SharePoint online? When switching between pages, the page appears to attempt to use MDS (the address bar points to /_layouts/15/start.aspx) but then a full page refresh occurs and a redirect to the actual page url.

I know that the new document libraries are probably not going to be currently compatible with the current version of MDS so I'm not talking about the switches between a site page and a library.

And no, the sites I've seen this on are plain vanilla, unmodified sites (no custom actions, script embeds etc that could mess up MDS). I've also tested against a number of tenants to which I have access.

I remember also noticing this earlier in the year, but it resolved itself after a few days. This time it seems to have been an issue for a couple of weeks.

Just looking to find out if anyone else has noticed this?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The joy of Cloud Updates...

MDS is not broken, it is gone, the asyncDeltaManager is not loaded

is this a result of the July 1st update 16.0.5423.x ??

I can't tell, I don't have any Tenants on older builts

I presume it is because of more upcoming 'New Experiences'

Question: did you have functionality relying on MDS, which now does not work anymore?
