Hi there

For a Document Library, the New menu has an option to create a New Link. How to get this when Document Library is inside a web part? (See the two screenshots below).

1. New menu has the Link option

2. New menu does NOT have the Link option when shown from within a web part

Hi @frob ,

This is the behavior by default. The link content type will not be showed in the library web part. You may need to go to the actual web part to add the links and then the updates will be synced to the web part on the modern site page.
