Nov 18, 2019Hiding SharePoint Document Libraries
Is it possible to hide document libraries on SharePoint?
I see that folders within a document library can be hidden, but I would like the whole document library to be hidden.
Thanks

- Dean_GrossSilver Contributorwho do you want it hidden from?
on the quick launch, the site contents page, or both?
do you want its contents to found in a search? - Without breaking security, you can configure the visility of a Doc. Library with some PowerShell: https://www.sharepointsky.com/hide-document-library-or-lists-using-powershell-in-sharepoint-2016-or-sharepoint-2013/

HiBrookePhillips14 ,
It is possible, just edit the library permissions to un-inherit from the site and change the permissions accordingly. Any users without permissions will not be able to see it.
