The majority of the companies I've consulted for use Document Sets in their workflows. They are extremely useful for creating version snapshots of a set of documents, allow a single lookup to multiple documents within a set, etc. Please add this feature to the Modern UI as soon as possible. This is a must-have feature for many clients.

We were planning to change to Modern view in all libraries, but just discovered that Document sets are still using the old UI. This undercuts the whole move to modern view... Please update us on this...

Make the options such a "move" for files within documents sets - not just for document sets as I want to move indiviudal files around between document sets and I cant do that right now

As a consulting firm we use Document Sets and internally and set them up for clients.
As per J-Chmiel we setup business processes using the Doc-Set feature and need this to be extended across one drive and the modern UI. Keep this feature current and extend to Teams etc

We love Document Sets and use these internally. We've also set these up for a number of clients. They are key to many business processes with a "book" of files. Microsoft, please update the UI and keep this feature current!
PS - They also allow auto tagging of files. This provides a way for users to use OneDrive client, drag 'n drop, but without losing tagging! So important to our users since OneDrive client doesn't support metadata!

Pathetic - and dishonest - there are posts all over from happy product managers telling us it coming soon going back 3 years. I still worry that they are just hoping to drop the feature by leaving it so unusable that people drift away. It's a classic MS tactic.

Three years "thinking" about it. One of the best features, yet still has a disjointed UX going back to classic when in a document set landing page, then back to modern when the user accesses files.

Must add my voice (and vote) to bring Document Sets into the Modern UI. I agree with all other comments, but our primary pain point is the lack of the Move To and Copy To feature from within a document set. I also agree that this has been dragging on way too long. The first comments I found date back to Q1 2016. How hard can this possibly be???

I voted on this idea over a year ago. Since then the "new experience" has been rolled out and made the default view for all SharePoint sites; however the Document Set UI is still in the "classic experience" which hinders adoption of Document Sets in general. Is Microsoft deprecating the concept of Document Sets?

Knock, knock... anyone there? Looks like there’s been no response on this one. Would love an update on document sets in the new UI?

Document sets provide an essential way to reduce data entry, and ensure data integrity and consistency through the inheritance of properties by documents from the document sets. They are also critical to traditional methods of records management that will not be quickly abandoned. Document sets are required to be available ongoing, specifically with multiple properties that can be inherited by the documents they contain.

What is taking you guys so long? I can't onboard organizations into Modern if document sets aren't there. They are THE KEY FEATURE SharePoint deployments are so great.

Guys Document sets are really useful and help in many ways. Why are they not being updated with the modern UI?

We cannot be chopping and changing between UI with a critical feature. Is this on the way?
