Always view SharePoint Properties in Word documents by default?
Can SharePoint Online be configured to view SharePoint Properties in Word documents by default? Like it could in SharePoint Server 2016? If I have a document library that contains additional metadata about the Word documents in that library, anytime I open a Word document, I want to see that meta data immediately, without having to first click 'View' and then 'Properties'. It was an option in SPS.
Hi jrauman,
I am not aware of any native options in SharePoint Online that do this. It would likely require SPFx development or a third-party add-in (I'm not a developer so I can't say for sure what it would take).
But if you don't mind sharing, what is the "why" behind this need? Maybe there's another native option that would give you what you need.
