Text Box above SharePoint List
Scott Strausbaugh I am using modern sharepoint. I want to be able to put some instructions and external links in the yellow box above the header. I think this used to be possible in older versions of sharepoint using webparts.
Yes, in classic mode you could use Edit page, and insert web parts above the list web part. Microsoft removed that functionality in modern view pages. The supported method would be using a new page and then adding text above and and displaying the list below. If you want to modify the New/Edit/Display forms then using PowerApps is your best bet.
You can read more about it at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/solution-guidance/modern-experience-customizations-customize-lists-and-libraries.
Thank you. I wish it wasn't this way but oh well :(
