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

Copper Contributor

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 

 

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.

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.
