Modern Document Library does not allow any text explaing what the document library is for.
Hi
I have a document library which opens in the Modern UI.
I cannot for the life of me find how to add some text to explain what the document library is for. I cannot edit the page so ca...
Create a word file, or Txt file in notepad, with the description, save the file name as Library Description or something similar. Upload it to your library. Once there, select the file and on the top menu is Pin on top button or something similar to that.
Nope, you can't edit the default view pages in Modern UI yet. You can always link to a site page, then add a Documents webpart to it and add the text webpart above etc. However that Web Part doesn't function the same as the regular Documents default view so you might have to see if it would work for you.
Outside of that, and or just linking to a Page before you get to the library, that's about the only option that I know of that you currently have when using modern UI. You can always set the library to classic and then edit the views there as well if Classic meets requirements of the library, but then you don't get the nice Sharing buttons etc.

Thanks Deleted for getting me so quickly.
The customer does not like the idea of having a page with the explanation which then links to the document library as a number of their users will be accessing by mobile phone, so they want to keep the number of clicks down to a minimum. In the Modern UI you can by filter by one or more fields easily using the filter pane. It is not so easy in Classic UI.
I wonder if I can put the document library into a Tab and have the first tab for the explanation and the second tab for the document library.?
