What is happening to Quick Edit?
One of the best functionalities in SharePoint document Libraries; the Quick Edit-tool is not there in modern document libraries. Why?
Please bring it back ASAP!
Just checked my tenant and some doc libraries give me the Quick Edit, others don't. Trying to determine what the difference between the libraries are! If i find out i will post.
Thanks Tanya Denton, yes, a colleague of mine experiences the same, eg. that it doesn't show in one tenant, but at a customer's tenant it shows...
- I have no idea why. But .... In the view that did NOT show Quick Edit i had the the following columns in the view Type Name Modified Modified By If i then added one more column to the view 'Quick Edit' then appeared. I only added [App Created By] column, which is a non-editable field, so have no idea why this then made Quick Edit appear! I think one to report?
Yes! That's it! I added too another column, and now it shows....!
Conclusion might be that there needs to be a minimum of 4 columns for the Quick Edit to show?
Thank for the useful comments in this thread. I also had 4 editable columns already, but my view was grouped. After disabling the groupings the Quick Edit button appeared.
- This is strange. I am using just our tenant, and in the library that i opened where the Quick Edit didnt show, if i changed to another view, it showed! Now to check the difference between the views!
Yeah, I checked Advanced Settings, there is an option there to allow Quick Edit, and "Yes" is chosen...still it doesn't show above the documents in the view...?
