We all knows that Web Parts are server-side controls that run inside the context of site pages in SharePoint. Whatever the list and libraries that we create and worked on-we can add all of them as webparts on any page as per our project requirements.Ultimately we can playaround with the webparts and display the view to the users as per our requirements, we can replicate the original list/libraries as it is on any page as a webpart. so basically webparts functionality is of vital importane in SharePoint and great to deal with !!
When you go to a document library or list in SharePoint, you see a dropdown in which you can select a different view or create a new view .But sometimes we face the situation that we cannot see a webpart dropdown to change the view settings/create a new view.
But the answer is very simple that we can tweaked the URL and jump of to the 'create view' page.
Coming back to the main problem now:
What are the reasons that the webpart view has been disappeared ?

What are the reasons that the webpart view has been disappeared ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You added a second document library webpart on your page, but this would be quite obvious because you would see two webparts, one with a dropdown and one without it.
- You closed the webpart and added it again, leaving the closed webpart on the page, but hidden. This one is difficult to detect, because you can only see the webpart without the dropdown.
Resolution:
------------------------
-Simply delete the second webpart from the page or you leave it on there (but without the dropdown).

ReplyDeleteSorry 4 replying late as little but busy in certain assignments.
DeleteI completely understood what exactly the problem is. thank you for explaining the detailed information.
I have not seen your site and not the homepage too but i am assuming that there are other webparts are also present on that page along with Rich text editor.
Best way to troubleshoot this problem is:
1. open your site's home page
2. suffix ?contents=1 after default.aspx
3. select all the webparts which are listed over there and select closed webparts
Don't worry-we are just closing the webpart and not deleting anything
after this activity, your home page will be completely blank as we have closed down the webparts
4. come back to the home page
5. site actions
6. edit page
7. add a webpart
8. advanced webpart gallery options
9. please refer the right hand side option-section "closed webparts"
10. now start adding one by one and find out which webpart is having the problem.
if you have any questions/queries regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know, Thank you.
