Add a Document Library Tab with Ease

Often Team members give up on adding a document library directly because they mistakenly click on the "Sharepoint" tab option- which just gives you the option to create a tab for a page or a list in Sharepoint.

How to quickly add the document library tab to your Teams Channel:

1. Copy the URL for your SharePoint document library or a specific folder within the library. 

2. From Teams, select a team channel. 

3. Select plus in the tab navigation. 

4. Select "Connect to a Document Library", and then select Use a SharePoint link.

5. Paste the URL into the Library Url box, select Go, and then select Next. 

6. In the Pick a document library window, select a folder, and then select Next. 

7. Name your new tab, and then select Save.

No need to switch apps to collaborate.

This simple tip will save you a huge amount of time by giving you the ability to stay within the Microsoft Teams app to do all of your document collaboration. Good luck!
