Documents now offers a Compact List view
Documents now offers a Compact List view. If it has been there before I haven't noticed it.

It's great that it has a compact view. Too bad this isn't the default. I can ask for it to compact view and I want this to be the norm for my entire site but as soon as I close it out and come back in it is all uncompacted again. Any idea of how I can make the page and if possible the entire site "compacted"
Thx

Just be sure to save the view with the name of the view you're trying to replace. In my case, I applied the Compact View and used "All Documents" as the name of the view to save it as.
