LincolnDeMaris please could we have an update on when Modern Document Sets are going to be roller out? The roadmap site shows that this has been moved back to Q2-2019.

 

Thanks.

    Hi LincolnDeMaris, 

     

    I've noticed an odd behavior of the breadcrumbs when using a document set.

    I have create a view "Filtered View" (not set to default) and added some filters.

    I have also configured the document set welcome page to use the "Filtered View" as its default view.

    When I opened the document library and switched to "Filtered View", my filtered document set list will show and when I click on a document set it will also open using "Filtered View" as the document set's default view.

    But when I click the Document library link on the breadcrumbs to navigate back, the view will change to the document library default view "All Documents" not "Filtered View".

     

    Note: This behavior does not occur on Folders and Folders inside document sets.

     

    Please advise.

      Can anyone provide me with some documentation on how to implement document sets? I can't find any Microsoft help articles for SharePoint Online.

        Hello Andrew. You might find this helpful: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/create-and-manage-document-sets-c71d5796-d559-48de-b1b3-42383bdd13ea

        It's for the classic interface, sadly. Not all the features mentioned in the first post have yet appeared in the modern interface.

      Hi LincolnDeMaris  just some feedback on document sets. Any chance of getting these bugs fixed? 

       

       

      • Modern Search results do not use Document Set Icon, currently uses ASPX Page.
      • Modern Search Type ahead do not use document Set Icon, currently uses Folder Icon
      • When pinning a document set, the Document Set Icon should be used, not Folder.
