On the SharePoint in Microsoft 365 or SharePoint Server 2019 site contents page, site owners can view a list of all pages, libraries, lists, and other apps on their site as well as the list of subsites. The site contents page also provides clearer access to add lists, pages, document libraries, subsites, and apps.
Note: The site contents page is for site owners to quickly find content they need. To view detailed file information such as file sizes, or the number of files in a folder, you can add more fields to the current view by selecting All Documents > Add or remove fields. However, for this purpose, we recommend you syncing your SharePointand OneDrivefiles to view them easily in File Explorer.
Go to the site contents page
To get to the site contents page:
-
Go to the site you want to see site contents for.
-
On the left side, select Site contents:
Create a new list, document library, app, or subsite
Select New at the top at the page to go to the familiar page where you can name and set up your new item.
View and work with all of your content and subsites
On the site contents page, select Contents to see the familiar view and interaction capabilities of all of the content on your site, including Documents, Site Assets, Pages, and more.
Select Subsites to see the subsites and number of views for each, and to interact with them by selecting on the subsite you want to work with. Select the ellipses (…) to go to the site contents page for that subsite.

How do I go back to classic experience?
If you want, you can return to classic experience of the site contents page by selecting Return to classic SharePoint at the bottom left. You will be in classic experience for the remainder of your browser session. If you close your browser and then re-open the site contents page, you will again see the new site contents experience. To change the experience on a single library or list, see Switch the default experience for lists or document libraries between new or classic.
For SharePoint Server 2019, a SharePoint administrator can create a team site with the classic or modern experience when setting up the site collection.
-
In SharePoint Central Administration, select Create site collections.
-
Create a site collection, and select the Team site (Classic experience) under Templates.
-
Continue to create and save the site collection.
Note: Although this section refers to lists and libraries, it also used to set the default experience for site contents.
