Update to Sharing Language on OneDrive/SharePoint

What’s changed?

Microsoft are improving Link settings by providing more helpful tooltips, definitions and clearer language to help you understand which link type and permissions best suit your needs, prior sharing a file or folder to your co-workers. ​

Microsoft have also added a quick at-a-glance view of all the collaborators that currently have access which also serves as an entry-point to Manage Access to provide you with even more granular control.
