Hi there
In SharePoint Online is there a way to show a tree view web part to organize links? How?
E.g.,

  • HR

HR1

HR2

  • Finance

    Finance1

    Finance2

    Finance3

.. And so on?

Thanks.

    Hi @frob ,

    Agree with sreejukg and PauldeJong-6993, there is no available OOTB tree view web part in SharePoint online. You have to develop it by yourself using SharePoint Framework(SPFx) or use a existing 3rd party extension.

    For Reference:
    Tree view navigation using PnP Treeview control in the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) web part
    Navigation as a tree structure for SharePoint Modern UI

    There is no Out of the Box webpart available to you in SharePoint online. However, you can develop your SPFX control for the same. There is an excellent Treeview control that is published as part of PnP team, that can be used in your case.

    The lack of being able to show a three structure in SharePoint ranks the Microsoft developers below any other persons.

    Is it arrogance ("good enough for them"), or just plain stupidnes? The tool is more or less useless for serious users.

    Manouvering in a three structure you can find "connections" based on previous experience. Where oddly named files and folders link to the topic in question. It is normally called intuision, but it is really just a result of hard work. AND USING THE HUMAN BRAIN.

    I on my part have opened a parallell set of "File Explorer" windows that are working a bit "so and so", but 100% better than SharePoint.

    If the TreeView control meets your requirements and you have the skills/capability to develop an SPFx then that is definitely the way forward.

    If your requirements are not met you may want to look at 3rd tools. For example, there are tools that mimic File Explorer in a browser (see https://directory.collab365.com/office365-sharepoint/best-document-management-tools-for-sharepoint/ and https://directory.collab365.com/listing/slim-companion-explorer/)
