SharePoint Quick Links Web-Part Doesn't Automatically Update Title of Files

Wondering if anyone else has this issue. I added in a quick links web part but when I do into my document library and change the file title it doesn't automatically update on the web-part.

 

Is this a caching issue? Or do I always have to update the title once I change it? Below is an example of the second web-part I pulled in with the updated Titles for my files.

    Hello nwiggins2024 

     

    no, these are different standard webparts. It's not the same.

     

    Thats a normal behaviour.

    In a quick links webpart you can insert a titel you want, the link is fixed to your document.

     

    The highlighted content webpart shows the actual title of the element, it's e reference direct to the choosen element/document.

    that's correct, in a quick links webpart you can enter the title you want.

     

    When you use library views or search based webparts like highlighted content, the titel will be automatically updated.

      DaveMehr365 would the quick links be considered a "highlighted content" web-part?

       

      Reason being, the issue I'm having is that when the title get's updated through a document library, it does not automatically change on the quick links web-part.
