SharePoint 2010 : Modify a View

Figure 1. To modify a view, use the Modify this View link in the breadcrumbs menu.

Figure 2. To modify a view, you can also use the Modify View button in the List ribbon or Library ribbon.

Selecting Modify This View or Modify View opens the view editing page, which enables you to modify every setting about the view except its type (see Figure 3). If you want to switch a view to a different type (for example, change it from a standard view to a calendar view), delete the view and create a new one.

Figure 3. To change a view’s file name, use the Web Address of This View box.

One difference between the view creation page and view editing page is that in the view editing page, you can define the name of the file that the view uses as well as the name of the view itself.
