Unable to set the default rendering as "Tiles" for my document library view

Jochen Burkhard 

I’ve adapted the example from https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-list-formatting/tree/master/view-samples/tile-layout-example-with-image

Site Contents - create a new list (with "Show in site navigation")

1. Add an new item to the list, filling each column accordingly
2. In the "All Items" drop-down - select "Save view as" - give it a new name. Ensure that "Make this a public view" is ticked.
3. In the "All Items" drop-down ensure the view with the new name is selected and click "Format current view"
4. Click 'Advance mode", paste the following JSON and click "Save". Close the "Format view" section ("x" - right corner).
5. In the "new view name" drop-down - select "Tiles" (the new view should be displayed). At this point the view should change to reflect the new JSON design.
6. In the ""new view name" " drop-down - select "Save view as" (keep the same name), just click "Save"
7. In the " new view name " drop-down - click "Set the current view as default"
8. The solution -> Click "Save View as" (again with the same name)
9. Done - the "Tiles" view is set as default

John John just now noticed in list settings, still the default view didn't set. Try to set it and see.
