Error when using an URL for document template in Content Type
Hi Örjan!
As far as i know You must upload the Document template to each Content Type when You are using the Content Type hub. Unfortunately It is not possible to "Centralize" the document templates in one Document library and refer to them in SharePoint Online.
Here are some more info: https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/264636-general/suggestions/18550702-allow-document-template-url-within-content-type-hu
BR, Magnus
Andre Radtkecan you give more information about how you can link templates and from where?
I've tested this and it is only possible to add a link to a library in the current site collections. So no central place for template management for all templates of all site collections. Even not in the content type hub. (check error message in screenshot)
- Sorry Melanie, I missunderstood the functionality and I checked where I stored my Word Template and it was the sitecollection for the contenttype hub itself. So I understood that you like to use a central place (maybe intranet) where your templates are stored which is not the contenttypehub´s site. I tried it with another site and it really does not work - SORRY! 😕
Andre Radtke It only worked for me this way:
a page other than the contentypehub itself does not seem to work.
- I'v tried uploading the templates to the content type hub but when using that content type in another site collection, and creating a document will result into "blank page: Untitled"
