Recently, I got a question about how we can check the document library description in the Browser.
Method # 1
For all SharePoint versions, if you go to the document library settings page you will see the description.
![]()
Method # 2
- For SharePoint 2007 and 2010, you can see that once you click on the document library, the description is shown under the document library, as shown below.
![]()
- For 2013 & 2016, it should appear next to Document Library, if you click on “i”.
![]()
