Sharepoint online libraries not showing up when browsing
Seeing an odd problem with our Sharepoint Online sites and the new browsing / copy to and mobile apps experience.
Example
If I go to my OneDrive website, then try a copy to and browse another site it tells me there are no document libraries. When I know there are libraries with lots of content.
I also see similar behaviour in the mobile apps.
We are using classic sites with a customised template.
The template
removes the default document library.
creates customised document libraries
sets content types and a default template.
Are custom content types supported as yet or is ths a bug?
Does browsing rely on the default document library?
Is there anything we can change to get this to work?
Default new sites all appear to work in both our tenant.
Creating a default documents library does not appear to change anything
- In theory custom types are supported in new document libraries but: is this the problem? You say you are on classic sites, so I assume you are not using yet the new User Experience for the SPO Doc. Libraries...do you have any other customizations in place?
- Thanks Juan Carlos
We have branding on those sites, and some customised libraries. I am finding out from our developer what has been changed in those.
Just looking for a common thread. I have been comparing setting between libraries that show up and those that don't.
I did hear a while ago that we should no longer do anything with the default documents library that is provisioned since Microsoft are using them in places like teams.- I looked a bit deeper. Looks to be with the libraries that have been customised.
I create a standard and a customised one and only the stands shows up.
Looking at the properties of the objects these customised libraries are a different application type name. So entity type and name are all different. Including the base template ID.
That is going to be a big problem in the future.
