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"

Hi Moreno Fernandes ! Thanks for your screenshot. Its because you have only the default view in your doc lib. The doc lib webpart can work only, if you first did a user defined view on your doc lib app. See attached my screenshots i did before. Or see my attachment here. Greets, Eva.
