Editing List Columns for your Sharepoint Document Library

Recently, my company’s sharepoint administrator left her job and I was given the reins to sharepoint. Growing up with FaceBook, Myspace, and HTML knowledge, editing sharepoint became a piece of cake. It wasn’t until I was asked to edit our Document Library’s List Column that I ran into trouble. Editing the List Columns the traditional way by going into your Modify Site Settings didn’t seem to work so I found a workaround.

  • Edit your document library in the datasheet (Excel)
  • Right click the column you wish the change and choose edit
  • Add in any settings you’d like
  • Save and exit

I hope this helps!
