Quick Edit button disappearing
For some reason the Quick Edit button disappears when I go in to a document library in SharePoint Online. It was available before and was a very useful feature, but now even though it's enabled i...
Someone modified the default view and removed some columns that would be required for the Quick Edit button. Try creating another standard view with default columns and save it, and it should show back up, but I'd have to go poke around to see what columns are usually required but that default view does require some if not all columns to show to be used on that view.
Is there somewhere in the view options that you can turn off the Quick Edit button? Or is it dependant on the columns that are visible? I have this problem that Quick Edit disappears when I switch to any view that is not default but I'd like it to be visible. Ideally the button should be visible all the time.
I found that removing the "Edit" column removed Quick Edit, and re-adding it made quick edit return.
