In SharePoint 2013 views are extremely helpful in organizing your content to make it easier and quicker to find. If you have already created a view but haven’t yet figured out how to edit it, you’re in luck because that’s exactly what will be covered in this tutorial.
- From the home page of your SharePoint site, open any list or library you would like, in this example I will open my Documentslibrary.
- At the top of the page click LIBRARY, to expand the ribbon.
- On the ribbon click Library Settings.
- On the Document Settings page scroll to the bottom and under the Views heading click the view you would like to edit, in this example Reviewed.
- Check the box next to Make this the default view.
- Check the box next to Description to add this column to the view.
- Review your changes or make any additional ones you would like and click OK.
- I will now see my Reviewed view in front of the All Documents view (which means it is set as the default view) as well as a Description column.
These were just a few basic changes to my view. Now that you know how to edit a view you can go in and make several other changes.
