One of the greatest benefits of SharePoint is its flexibility. You can use this collaborative platform as an intranet. It allows for task scheduling, contacts, and information sharing. Depending upon the user’s status, administrators can give different permission levels. It also has social networking, document sharing, and file management features.
Column Width
You can increase the width of a column in the SharePoint list of a document library by adding a lot of scripts. Microsoft has made it even simpler with the modern document library of SharePoint Online. The Modern SharePoint Library now comes with a new feature known as “Change Colum Width.” This feature enables users to increase or decrease the library column width using the Drag and Drop option.
Column Formatting
The new modern library design of the platform enables you to apply column formatting. By accessing a modern library, you can easily format a column. You can select an existing column or click on “Add a Column.” Now select the “Format this Column” option present in the menu.

You need to select all documents in the Document Library that you want to download. The next step is to click on the “Download” button. You’ll have a “Save As” box on your screen then, and you can save all documents by adding the “File Name” and clicking on the “Save” button.
