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!
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.
- Glad it is back for you, but still why the sudden change. Probably best to report it as it maybe an unintentional change.
I agree Tanya Denton, as you won't always need 4 columns for an all documents editing. At least it should be available in the tiny arrow menu dropdown next to the other commands in the grey field.
Where can we report it?
