Creating a Shortcut of a file from one Team Channel to another
Has anyone found a way to create a shortcut link for a file that is hosted in Team Channel A and I'd like to link it into Team Channel B? So only the 1-excel file is being worked on.
DHarrison You can solve it by doing the following (but it is not a pretty solution that i recommend...)
- Copy the link to your document (in Teams).
- Then go to the channel where you want a link to the document.
- Click on the "Files tab" and then select "Open in SharePoint".
- When the document library opens, click "New" and select "Link".
- Paste the url you copied into the document, and then save.
Now you can go back to the channel and see in "Files" that the link is available there.
(Once again, this is an ugly solution but if it works for you then it works.)
Hi DHarrison Please complete your post so we better understand what you're asking about. Thank you.
DHarrison , I am also looking for a way to do this as I am unable to figure it out as well. Thank you for asking this question.
Therese_Solimeno , we are looking for a way to create a shortcut link of a file (word, excel, etc.) that exists in one Teams channel (channel A) and add the shortcut link to another Teams channel (channel B) so when someone updates/edits the file then it is updated in both channel A and B. The same as you can do in Google Workspace (by selecting "Add Shortcut to Drive" in the google document, and adding it to another drive folder).
