Issue with Document Library (Preview) and Name field appearing in view

Question

When I add a document library (preview) to a modern site page in SharePoint Online, it adds the name field to the view even though it is not in the view in the default library:

Original Library View Settings Name appearing

Any recommendations? Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Answer 1

I can reproduce your issue.

It seems that the "Type (icon)" and "Name" field are the fixed fields that will always display in "Document Library (preview)".

Currently, there is no method to remove these fields. It is by design.

As a workaround, we can use “Embed” modern web part instead. Put the address of your library into the Embed textbox, it will display the library view (not whole page) from this address.
