Introducing SharePoint modern list/library web parts

Customizing modern page experiences in SharePoint is essential to advancing adoption and relevance of the SharePoint-based digital workplace.  Over the coming weeks, we will start the rollout of the modern list/library viewer web part to First Release Users.

 

Previously, modern lists and libraries were restricted to being shown in the default page for each list or library.  The first editions of these web parts allow you to also embed custom views of a list or library to a modern SharePoint page, alongside previously released parts such as Text, Image or Embed.   Documents or items can be opened directly from the view, and we will soon add more capabilities to the command bar.

 

For more guidance on using the new web parts, please see:

Please continue to watch the TechCommunity for the latest rollout news for this part.  Thanks.

    Are there plans to support drag and drop into the new experience library web part?

    It is still only rolled to a smaller subset of first release users so far.  We'll announce when it goes to tenant wide First Release, keeping in mind we'll move in randomized tenant rings (1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%)'in First Release and then in General Release.  Thanks for asking.

    Hi Chris McNulty, do we know if we will have a webpart for promoted links?  I can see the promoted links apps is already modernised but this would be of no use if there is no webpart.  Thanks, S

    Chris McNulty- is there a timeline for when modern list and library web parts will be no longer in "preview"? Also, when I try to add list web parts to my modern pages, I only see a couple of the many list types I have on the site. I don't see the option to add tasks, links, or other lists that are in my site's content. Are these being planned? Thanks!
