Remove items in New button
Hi ptrckldc
Yes, it is possible to hide or remove items from the "New" button menu in your hub site's home page. To achieve this, you can use SharePoint's customization options and permissions settings. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Access Site Settings
- Go to the hub site's home page and click on the gear icon (:gear:) in the upper-right corner.
- From the dropdown menu, select "Site Settings."
Step 2: Manage Site Features
- Under the "Site Actions" section, click on "Manage site features."
- Locate and deactivate the feature called "Team Collaboration Lists." This feature enables the creation of lists, libraries, and other collaborative items.
Step 3: Adjust Library/List Permissions
- If you want to prevent users, including owners, from creating a new document library or list, you need to adjust the permissions for the site.
- Click on "Site permissions" under the "Users and Permissions" section.
- Choose "Advanced permissions settings."
- For the "Owners" group or any other groups with permissions to create libraries/lists, click on "Edit User Permissions."
- Remove the "Add Items" or "Add and Customize Pages" permissions, which will prevent them from creating new libraries or lists.
After following these steps, the "New" button menu should no longer display the options to create a new document library or list. Please note that these changes will affect all users with the same permissions. If you want to customize the menu differently for different user groups, you may need to consider using custom scripting or solutions.
Remember that modifying permissions should be done with caution, especially if you are dealing with a hub site that has connected sites and a complex permission structure. Always test these changes in a development or staging environment before applying them to the production site.
