Document library - New document - Custom content types - Online office app opens
Hi,
I have a document library with a custom content type with a template. When creating a new file (classic or new experience, that does not matter), I see my content type as expected. When I click on it Excel/Word on line opens with the empty template.
When I open an existing document in this document library, the client application Excel/Word opens. This is the expected behavior, I set the "Open in the client application" in the advanced settings of the library settings.
Why does the new not follow this behavior ? Why does it open in the online version of the office application ? How can I make the new also open the client application ? When was this changed and why, I think it was changed less than a month ago ;-)
Best regards,
Marc
- SharePoint on prem or online?
SharePoint online, otherwise I would me us who changed something, now I presume it is Microsoft that changed something as I have it with multiple customers ;-)
- Interested to hear an answer to this one as well. We would like this option to be applicable to templates also.
Somebody ?
Try consider using Office Word Addin to get around the issue.
