Sharepoint Online Office Template library

Hi!

 

I've created an Sharepoint Assets Library for Office 365 apps. The templates show up in the Office apps, but there is a initial folder that has the same name as the Document Library that have been setup for the Office templates. There is no folder in the document library, the templates are in the "root".

In the tutorials I watched and read I can see that the template appear directly under the Organization tab when creating a new document in Word for example.

 

This is how it looks in Word. The templates are accessible in that folder, and work just fine. But I would like to get rid of this initial folder.

Best Regards,

Tommy Herman

    The presentation of templates have been updated in newer Office versions, I was on semi-annual channel om my testmachine and office version 2002. But after switch to montly channel v2009 the templates are shown without an initial folder. Also tested insiders channel, version 2010, and the behaviour has not changed from v2009.

      MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile Hi Magnus! Thank you for the response. But in the article you link you can actually see the behavior i'm seeking. Under the Office templates bullet the picture shows the templates beeing listed directly under the tab without a initial folder. I also have a partner collegue that have tested this functionality, and his solution also shows the templates directly, i've reached out to him but havent got any response yet.

      This tutorial also show this behaviour, https://youtu.be/mPWPmFiYrNw?t=396
