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

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"

- MattWearmouthOct 14, 2021Copper ContributorHi. Im new to using templates like this. I am currently just uploading, however we have stored our templates in a folder on the same sharepoint teams site where we want to use the templates. What type of link works for directly connecting the SP sites template to a folder location on the same SP site? Can this be the sharing link (existing access type)?
Also we are not use a .dotx, does this matter. We are using docx.
