quicklinks webpart to site's documentlibrary's not working any more since latest release

Question

hello, i noticed a new interface when modifying my pages. I use the quicklink part a lot for creating buttons to my documentlibraries. But since the update i'm not able to do this. Even if a use the option to copy paste the link in the add link option it doesn't work. As you can see, I can select the library but nothing happens when selected. It doesn't get saved. I tried it creating a new webpart, another site and even an whole new site. Also cleared my cache en tried another browser - but problem stays.

You Can add "?web=1" at the end of the url after .aspx this solves the Issue

Meaning of .aspx?web=1

.aspx → This is the actual SharePoint page (for example, a Site Page or List View page).

?web=1 → This is a query parameter sent to SharePoint that forces the page to open in the “web” (modern web interface) context, instead of opening in the client application.

⭐ In simpler words:

web=1 tells SharePoint:

“Open this in the browser, not in the client app.”

Hi everyone. I opened up a support ticket with Microsoft and they had it resolved in our tenant within a couple of days, I'm now able to link to a document library without any work around's. Apparently its a known issue and fixes are getting pushed out to tenants sometime within this quarter (along with other patches/fixes). They "refreshed the tenant" and pushed out the fix (or fixes) and everything was good the next day. It might be worth opening up a ticket and see if you can get those quarterly patches applied to your tenant earlier.

Thanks @Akshay Lichade and @AbdulKadir Sheikh both your workaround worked for me.

1. Adding "?web=1" at the end of the URL after .aspx.
2. Copying and using the URL that has a view id of All documents in the library.

Please be aware that the suggestion to "Copy the full library URL (not just the root site URL). Go to Quick Links > Add link, choose from a link, paste the exact library URL, and press Enter." also doesn't work and is one of the reasons this issue is particularly frustrating (becuase this workaround used to work!).

I raised a support case about this exact same issue for our tenenat on 19 Feb 2026 with screen recording and .har network trace pending an upload link from them but and have had zero response from Microsoft Support to date.

Hi @Wendy Schuppen,

Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A forum and for taking the time to share such a detailed explanation along with screenshots, that information is extremely helpful.

Based on my research, several other users have reported the same behavior following a recent update. Given the troubleshooting steps you’ve already completed, this strongly points to a product-side issue related to the new “Object Picker” experience, rather than anything misconfigured on your end.

In the meantime, there are a couple of possible workarounds you may want to try:

1/ Use the direct library URL:

• Open the document library in a separate browser tab.
• Copy the full library URL (not just the root site URL).
• Go to Quick Links > Add link, choose from a link, paste the exact library URL, and press Enter.

2/ Link to a folder within the library instead of the root:

Some users have found that linking directly to a subfolder works as expected, whereas linking to the library root does not.

If neither of these workarounds resolves the issue or meets your expectations, the recommended next step would be to open a support ticket directly with Microsoft Support, as they have access to the backend tools required to investigate this further.

You can create a support ticket by signing in to the Microsoft 365 admin center and following the steps in this link: Get support for Microsoft 365 for business to create a support ticket from the admin center or by calling phone support to contact Microsoft Support: Customer service phone numbers. If you don't have admin privileges, you can ask your IT admin to do it on your behalf.

Alternatively, you can learn how to find your administrator through this link: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin?.
