Hi All,

Greetings for the day!!!

Today, I’m excited to share some of the latest updates to Document Libraries. These updates include performance improvements and enhancements to the functionality of the “Edit in grid view” feature in document libraries.

Prerequisites

  • Document library with below column types
    • column of type Image
    • column of type Choice
    • column of type Person or Group
Demo document library - "Travel Library" with column of types - "Choice", "Person or Group" and "Image"
snap: Demo document library – “Travel Library” with column of types – “Choice”, “Person or Group” and “Image”
Demo document library with column of types - "Choice", "Person or Group" and "Image"
snap : Demo document library with column of types – “Choice”, “Person or Group” and “Image”

Improvements

  • Pages in document libraries will load faster.
  • Better scrolling with large libraries: Users can scroll down and see everything if there are more than 100 documents. They don’t need to go to the next page.
  • Details pane in grid view: Open the details pane in grid view
snap : opening “Details” pane in grid view
  • Choice field editing: Select or change values in Choice columns in grid view.
