New features for SharePoint list and library preview web parts

Earlier in 2017 we introduced preview versions of new web parts to allow you to integrate views of a SharePoint list or library on SharePoint pages.  Our initial rollout was limited to “read-only” mode, meaning you could embed custom views of the list or library with limited interactivity.

 

Today we’re introducing related command bar items that allow you to create new items and upload documents directly from within the web part. We are also introducing item renaming, deletion, and downloading in the web part.

Please note, this functionality has been always available in the native views of lists and libraries.  Today’s announcement extends those capabilities to the web part experience.  Additional material is available in the support articles, “Use the document library web part” and "Use the list web part".

 

We expect to start the rollout of this feature around November 14, 2017.  Please continue to watch the TechCommunity for the latest rollout news.  Thanks.

    I have a list that uses several content types. When I use the List (preview) web part to surface it on my homepage, the NEW button will not work. It only appears to function when the list has 1 content type. Hoping that is being addressed when the final version is released.

    Nice to see this coming.. Few questions hopefully addressed but good to know in advance.

    1. What happens after clicking on a folder? will the user stay on the same page or redirected to document library.
    2. In Classic experience there was a way to update the library settings when we keep focus on the DL webpart? how is this behaviour handled in this WP.
    3. I hope this WP width is adjustable for the smaller section in stead of whole page width.

     What about the "Content Query" webpart? Are there any plans for a "Modern Content Query" webpart?
