How to do a custom modern page library?
Hi, I could use some help with this. I tried to create a custom document library (with extra metadata) and exchanging the default document content type with the modern website pages one. I even remo...
My guess would be that the "+ Page" button is currently hardwired to the default SitePages Library and this may just be an unintended consequence of it.
If you find any guidance or documentation about how to achieve this, please share it here....but I tend to agree with you in regards of the no know consequences of customizing with new columns the Site Pages document libraries...my "classic" understanding of SharePoint tells me that you could do it with no problems...but we are in modern and Microsoft is re-using this document library on a per site basis
- will do. If it is not possible at the moment, I wouldn't my adding metadata columns to the default SitePages library, though I'm generally cautious of editing Microsofts default libraries.
Any official guidance would be welcome here.maybe Dave Cohen (US)or;Alina Skarbovsky could pitch in since they were actively involved in the "Modern Pages Rollout Thread".
I've just tried to add additional metadata to the default SitePages library, and realized that the new columsn aren't added to the modern pages contenttype (only to the classic wiki page), additionaly the "customize content type" action is somehow disabled for this default library.
So this isn't a workaround either.
So the question remains, how do I create modern pages in a custom library, where I can enrich the pages with additional metadata?

Hi everyone. You're right that this isn't supported just yet. We have it on our backlog but don't have a concrete timeline right now. Feedback heard though.
