Hi there,

I have a Modern SharePoint Site that's a Office365 group enabled team site, and the RSS URL for a document library is not being accepted by the RSS web part. Here are two screen captures of the document library RSS Feed and my site's RSS web part. What am I missing?

    Hi @Yasmeen ,

    Below is the RSS feed URL I used for testing.

    Please check that the RSS URL of the document library you entered is correct. If you cannot find a site's RSS feed (or a site doesn't have one), you need to create one.
    Please check this article to find the correct feed: How to Get an RSS Feed from a Website

    Hi @Xuyan Ding - MSFT ,

    Thanks for the tips.

    So the document library has an RSS Feed that I went to from the Edit View page. I clicked on the orange RSS icon and copied its URL; the second screen capture in my original post shows that it wasn't a valid RSS Feed url.

    I also tried your other tips:

    • Created an RSS Feed from a 3rd party website but when I added the url to the SharePoint web part it glitches and nothing populates.
    • Went into the code of the RSS Feed - the first screen capture in my original post - and I can't find a valid RSS Feed url. It seems like the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation RSS Generator is not spitting out the feed url. Can that be fixed? I've included a screen capture here:
