Create new Document Libraries:

The Create document library pane will open on the right. Complete the data and click the Create button.

Once you have created your Document Libraries, you can add web parts to your SharePoint site if you'd like. Web Parts are like interactive shortcuts to web content.

To edit a page and add web parts, you must have the necessary permissions in place on the site you wish to modify.

Click the Edit button on your site.

Depending on the site style and format your site has, you will see one of the following options for adding web parts. Once you have clicked Web Part, choose which type you'd like to insert. When you insert the 'part' it's like a container until you add the type of content you've chosen. This article covers adding Document Library web parts (shortcuts to 'folders' within SharePoint).

Navigate to the placeholders for your Document Library web parts and click to Add a new web part in column one.

Next you can scroll down in the list of available web parts and select Document Library.

Now you should see the list of Document Libraries you've created, so select the one you want to link:
