Sp-dev-docs: tileProps can only be manually enabled per person

[eschrader]

Can you elaborate on the tileProps only being set per user? Its very misleading that I can set this as a default JSON view for everyone when tiles are controlled separate per user.

Can we have a clarity on this aspect please? I didn't find any way to set the View layout to Tiles to be able to use tileProps layout.

@eschrader @unowiz Can you please share more information about the ask?

Do you want users to directly land on Tiles layout, when they navigate to your View with tileProps formatter?

@shagra-ms I would like to see that, yes. If a View has custom formatting and it includes tileProps, I think it would make sense to default to Tiles layout when using that View. It's disappointing to spend a few hours customizing a view just to learn that NONE of your users are seeing it.

Additionally I would also like to see a way to link to a Tiles layout for any View in the URL, e.g. "?layout=tiles" or something along those lines.

Finally, in web parts for Lists and Document Libraries it would be great if the web part options included the ability to select Layout (List, Compact List or Tiles) so we can direct how these items are displayed in a particular page.

Thanks @bu11frogg for sharing this.

I am excited to share an update here.

User can now perform 'Save' when they are on _Tiles layout_. Subsequently all users will land directly on the _Tiles layout_. This applies to List web part as well.

The feature is being actively rolled out, and shall be available in your tenant soon 😊

@bu11frogg @unowiz @eschrader @thechriskent.

[shagra-ms]

The fix is now rolled out to everyone. Thanks!
