What is the plan for "modern" Document Sets?
- Feb 12, 2018Its too early to put specifics on the roadmap - but we will update document sets. We are not being "classic Microsoft" here - there is a steady stream of requests for docsets (along with other parts of classic ECM) and I've never pretended otherwise. Fear is not part of the plan. I hope to be able to give roadmap updates at SPC or Ignite this year, if that helps.
I was able to create a document library, where my document sets are also modern "inside". I was changing the views and editing the "welcome page" for the document set, where I added the document library web part and selected a view. So now when I create new document sets or open existing documents sets in that library, the entire experience is modern.
HOWEVER I cannot recreate this in another library - so I wanted to know if anybody had the same experience and could reproduce the steps?
I tried to replicate this by creating a new communications page and wasn't even able to select document sets from the term sets in a newly set up library. Maybe comms pages don't allow for document sets?

Mine looks like that too ... but when I go into the Doc Set, its the old interface ... nothing really new here.

Normally when i create document sets in modern UI, the view changes to classic when you open a document set.
Now i get an 404-error when working with document sets. I can create a new one, add and edit the metadata but I can't open it. Then I get the 'Page not found'-error.
When I'm in the settings and want to change the welcome paga of the document set, I also get the 404-error. Somebody know how to resolve this issue? I'm thinking the problem is in the new site collection which has been created in the modern admin center. I had also to enable the feature for 'document set'. Is it possible that the problem is caused by that?
