Display a list/library from one site to another site with SharePoint online (o365)

Question

I am looking to display a list and libraries that are on a site from within the same site collection.

In SharePoint On-Prem i could use something like Sharing Lists and Libraries across SharePoint Sites

However, This does not work for online as I cannot display the page the same same.

I did find another post that looks like it should work for me but the "Data View" button is grayed out in SPD.

Displaying SharePoint Online lists to parent or sub-sites

Anyone have any method to do this? I would like it to be the actual list/library so we can add content from either site to that list/library. So content query/search web parts do not display the data in a way that I like.

Thanks!

Do you place the cursor between the "

Does it works if you open AllItems.apsx for another list?

Try to go to ‘Edit Tab’ and click on ‘Parse HTML’, it would enable the ‘Data views’ tab again.

Another method, you can display list/library view using iframe.
