Custom Content Types not appearing in Document Library web part.

My apologies if this isn't the right place for this.

 

I've added a custom content type to a document library, and assigned it as the only visible option under the 'New' button.  However, when I add that doc library to a Doc Library web part on a modern team site, the custom content type is not visible.  Is there a way to fix this?  Thanks.

    Simply add the highlighted URL under advance settings and then the CT will appear on the new menu in the Modern Template

  • Does it appear when you switch to classic view?

      Is there a way to switch from a modern team site to a classic one on the fly?  This is on the actual page after its been published.  I can see the content type everywhere else.  Thanks.

        Yes you can switch on the fly on the left down corner there should be a option if not you can do this in the advanced settings of the library

    • I think the modern document library web part simply does not support new content types added to the library

        I see.  Is there a workaround for this?  As in, is there any other way to embed a document library on the page that would allow content types?
