Dear Pat Andraka,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. We’re always here to assist you.

We are sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with the pagination of the document library/list in the modern experience. I deeply understand the inconvenience caused and apologize for it. Our forum primarily focuses on addressing issues related to SharePoint’s built-in features.

Unfortunately, the modern experience for large document libraries only allows for continuous scrolling. However, it may be possible to create custom views with pagination using JSON code. While we’re unable to provide the specific JSON code you need, we kindly suggest you visit the Microsoft Q&A Community for assistance. This platform specializes in customized design development in SharePoint. When asking a question, please use the ‘SharePoint Development’ tag. The dedicated team of engineers will focus on your specific scenario and provide you with the complete JSON code to meet your requirements.

Please accept our sincere apologies for redirecting you to another platform. The moderators in this community have limited experience and resources to support JSON code. To ensure you receive prompt and appropriate assistance, we believe this is the best course of action.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your cooperation.
