SharePoint library create a user appealing look for list of contained documents

Hi, I have a sharepoint document library with a collection of documents (pdf, word) with library fields which collects information about the document. Is there a way to make the look of the library ...

Document Library

SharePoint Online

Hi SvenSieverding,

Thanks for the reply. What you have shown seems to apply for SharePoint list rather than a document library.

When I try to edit the current view of my document library, I do not see the option to apply row wise formatting, though there is option to do this column wise. I don't see this option even when I create a new view for the document library.

Thanks

Hi djohn20

no, this works for document libraries, too..... (The upper screenshot is even from a sample that is called "Custom Document Library Gallery Card" )

Go to All Items->Format Current View

Select "Advanced mode"

Now just paste the formatting stylesheet into the editor and press save

Using this JSON https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pnp/List-Formatting/master/view-samples/product-catalog/product-catalog.json
I got that result

But not all of the samples work for the view type "List" (That is a "normal" view in lists and document libraries). Some only work if you switch the view to the "Gallery" type.

Best Regards,
Sven
