Adding custom document template to several library at once, how?

Hi,

 

I am working in a SharePoint Online solution which contains a lot of libraries and the customer wants add new document templates (word templates). Bravely I started to add templates by creating content type and then adding this content type to each library. But soon I realized that it would take a lot of time to add the new templtes to all libraries. 

Is there another way to do that? I was thinking in some SharePoint power shell script or a secret setup in Sharepoint?

My other idea was create a library template with the document templates but that seems require the same amount of time to create each library from using a template. 

 

Any hint that can make this process faster and automated? 

 

Best regards

  • You have the solution in your post, but instead of doing manually you can do it grammatically using PowerShell...and even better, you could create a PnP Template of your document library and document type and just change the document template to use each time you create a new document library with a Content Type
