Hi Eva Vogel , Thanks for your response. The "recent Documents" web part shows the recent documents viewed/modified by me me from various libraries and sites including onedrive. It is not specific to a particular document library.

    I was able to achieve this by using the "Highlighted content" web part.

    This web part allows to add filters to display documents by Type, modified/created by etc

      Hello Moreno Fernandes ! I am sorry, i was to quick to explore it profundly. You are right, the only way to edit the webpart "Recent Documents" in modern pages is only to change the maximum of 6 or so documents, frustrating... If i were you i would wait for that recent document web part to expand the possibilities and they are always improve the options. It is kind of new to me, so in communication sites and in the meantime I would recommend the Document library webpart. Greets, Eva.

        Thanks for the suggestion Eva!

        For the document library web part I don't see the option to view "OnlyWordandexcel"

        There is only one option to select "All Documents"
