Can't view any Documents when adding a Library through the SharePoint Tab
Hello there,
we experience a strange behaviour when adding an additional document library to a team. When a document library is added via the SharePoint-Tab (to view metadata columns and changing views) and not via the document library tab it is not possible to open any Documents at all.
Is this a known bug or is there any way to fix that ?
Best regards
Florian
The SharePoint tab only shows content in Read only mode, so anything that is editing of content, including the opening of files doesn't work. I have looked into this before and the only conclusion I had is to use the document library tab and not the SharePoint one.

Andrew Hodges Thanks for the anwser. That is really a bit frustrating. Without the metadata or the possiblity to use another view the library tab is quite useless if there a many document stored in a library. Also all the features are already there in the standard files tab... At least it is possible with a column formatting to open the documents (with an external application).
