RobElliott What are other visibility rules you can apply?
For example can I show button for a specific file type?
OR show for items but not folders?

I haven't found any documentation on this so if you have a link where I can learn more that would be helpful too.

Thanks for the great post!

RicardoBDR to display only a specific file type you could add the following:

"display": "=if([$File_x0020_Type] == 'png', 'inline-block', 'none')"

To display the button only for files but not folders add the following:

"visibility": "=if([$File_x0020_Type] == '', 'hidden', 'visible')"

And you could add both!

A site I've always found very useful for seeing what's possible and grabbing the JSON is at https://pnp.github.io/List-Formatting/
