Home site on SP + New butt drop down is missing the ability to add list, document library, page, etc
lukevang Only the homepage +New button allows you to create other content libraries (lists, doc libs, apps) within your site. When viewing a given "page" or "news post" your contextual to the content you're currently viewing and therefore you're only able to create a New page (using the templates gallery) or start with a copy of this page/news post.
This is similar to document libraries, where the +New button allows you to create folders or documents, but not lists or pages.
It's (trying) to be contextually relevant to the area of SharePoint you're in.
Sounds like it's confusing you however. Love your feedback on how we could make that more clear. I think it would be equally confusing if all options were available everywhere, but love to hear from you.
- That's what I initially thought was happening but even as I set the page as the homepage, the options are still not showing up.
lukevang I have this exact same problem on the Home Page of the site. This problem started after I reïnstalled the standard groups with /_layouts/15/permsetup.aspx because the customer had made a mess of the site settings. Checked that the Microsoft 365-group is in the Member group that has edit rights. It looks like what is missing from the New-button are Office 365-options as creating a Planner plan, a document library, a list, etc.
What manages it that you see this options under New on the start page of a site?- It could be some other site setting. I usually solve the issue by making sure that the page is the home page. It might be time for a support ticket if there aren't any other suggestions.
