Remove View and Edit Properties Links in Document Set Properties Web Part

Question

I have a Document Set and have customized the Welcome Page. I'd like to remove the 'View All Properties' and 'Edit Properties' links from the Document Set Properties Web Part. This seems like it should be simple, but I cannot figure out how to do this. Is it possible?

Most of by Document Set properties are used in managing the workflows of our project coordinators. I do not want the team members that actively use the folders to 1) be able to edit any of these static properties or 2) be overwhelmed or confused when they see properties that they don't understand.

Is there a way to remove the links? I have SharePoint Designer 2013 and SharePoint Online and am a site administrator.

Answer 1

You can do it with a few lines of css.

1. Open the site in SharePoint designer and navigate to All Files/YOUR LIBRARY/Forms/Document Set/docsethomepage.aspx
2. Check out the docsethomepage.aspx file and open it for editing.

3. Paste the following code just before the last closing </asp:Content> tag:

   <style>
   #ViewPropsLink { display:none; }    
   #EditPropsLink  { display:none; } 
   </style>
   

4. Save the file and check it in.

Of course, any other way of injecting this css into the page should also work.
