Hiding the lists and libraries in quick launch menu?

When you create a new list or library, a link to that item is automatically added to the Quick Launch by default. You can change the Navigation option when you are creating a new list or library so that the item does not appear on the Quick Launch. You can also edit the option later by following these steps:
  1. On the Quick Launch, click View All Site Content. Then click on the name of the list of library that you would like to edit.



  2. On the Settings menu, click List Settings. Or, click the settings for the type of library that you are opening (i.e. Document Library Settings).



  3. In the General Settings column, click Title, description and navigation.



  4. In the Navigation section, you can remove the item from the Quick Launch by selecting No or you can add the item to the Quick Launch by selecting Yes.



  5. Click Save. To return to your site, click on the name of the site.

Hiding the Quick Launch in SharePoint 2010?

At times one would really feel no need of the Quick Launch section on few pages or sites i.e. the Team Site, one would really love to use the full width of the page for this one. Luckily the Content Editor Web Part trick which worked in SharePoint 2007 still works in 2010.

To hide the Quick Launch
1. Add a new Content Editor webpart. (Doesn’t matter where you add it)
2. Edit the HTML Source for the newly added Content Editor Webpart

3. In the HTML Source add the following and Click OK.
#s4-leftpanel{
display:none
}
.s4-ca{
margin-left:0px
}
[Do not forget to add the style open and close tag as seen in below image due to rendering issues its not showing up]

4. Save the Page. The Quick Launch section should not be visible now.
5. Edit the Just added Content Editor web Part and Under Layout Section Tick the Hidden Check box and Click OK, Which will hide the Webpart from Normal View.

6. This works on any SharePoint 2010 or Foundation 2010 Page and site.

How to create DocumentSet in documentlibrary in sharepoint2010?

creating a Document Set in SharePoint 2010 it was actually pretty annoying to get going and really play with.
Here are the steps to create a Document Set in 2010.  This is done with the beta so this can always be different when the RTM comes out.  i doubt it, but I thought I would warn you.
1. You need to enable the Document Sets feature at the Site Collection level.

Now that we have this figured out we can easily go create a document set.
A Document Set is actually just a content type.  This is important to know when planning out site collections because, as we know, we can add a content type to any library in the site collection now.  So, what that means, is a Document Sets can only be created within a document library that is using this content type. We may have enabled Document Sets across the site collection, but really all we did is allow the use of the content type and pages that go with the set.
2. Just like in SharePoint Server 2007, we need to allow the management of content types.
Choose the document library you would like to be able to create document sets in and click library settings on the ribbon

Then click Advanced Settings and allow the management of content types. Then click save

3. Create a Document Set just as you would use a content type.  Go to New and choose Document Set.  For whatever reason the icon seems to be missing in the beta.

4. Create a name and description for your Document Set. You might get an error if you try to add any managed metadata and this is not active in your site

5. You add documents to your document set by choosing the Library Tools > Documents and upload multiple documents.  Yes you can have only one document in a set if you need to add more later.

6. Drag your files you want uploaded.

7. That is it.  You now can manage your documents in a set.  You can see your set within your library even when you have other documents in that library that are not in a set.


Now we can treat this Document Set as a single file or multiple files.  We can delete the set and thus delete all the documents.  Really we can act like it is a zip file with the ability to manage the documents within it.  The documents that are part of a set are indexed individually unlike zip files so search is much better when it comes to Document Sets.  Everyone will have their own reasons for creating Document Sets and I am sure you can think of a few now.
