How to display Document Library as one combined view vs. "In Channels" & "In Site Library"?

We have a SharePoint that is attached to a Team - previously the Documents view displayed a single list that merged the Teams & SharePoint folders. Now it separates them, as in below screenshot. This is causing a lot of user confusion, with people wondering where their folders went. I don't want them to have to know that some are in Teams and some are in SharePoint - if they go to this page, they should see everything merged as it was before. Anyone know how I can change this? Doesn't seem to be a setting or a way to modify the form (allitems.aspx)

 

  • Thanks for raising this Rob. Have you had any internal clarification on this?
    It has now hit our tenant and I would like our team to be able to communicate to our customers before it also hits them. As you say, this will cause confusion.

    To add, I have also - like you did - found nothing when looking for a setting for this in the library or the view.

    rbennett I would like to disable it from the view since we don't use Teams folder and all this does is add vertical height to every library and add more scrolling.

        patriciarodilosso yes, there is a solution.

         

        Open the "Font" dialog box and go to the "Advanced" tab. 

         

        The "Position" drop down and the "By" data field let you move the content around as you please. 

         

        A bit silly that they use points and not actually measurements but a few try outs and you'll get what you want.

         

        So glad I found this fix, this has annoyed me for a couple of decades now!!
