Getting Link to a Document with Modern Document Libraries
There is a way to disable the 'Edit' and 'View' link feature. The only link that appears then is the restricted link.
Go to site settings -> Site permissions -> Access Request Settings -> Disable Allow members to share the site and individual files and folders.
This would prevent the breaking of permission.
This is very annoying - i need to be able to insert links in emails and in other documents. You used to be able to get the URL to an item within a couple of clicks.
two ways i have found to get a real url (one that you can read the path)
Get A LInk Method
1. Click Get A Link
2. From Drop select "Restricted Link"
3 Click in box and copy
From Office
1. Open document in Office Client Program
2. Click File
3. Click on path and select "Copy Path"
Caveat is that the url will have the query sting web=1 which i like to remove.
There was an annoucement in the admin messages on August 15th saying that the "Get A Link" feature will soon default to the Restricted link which will save a click and the creation of unneeded guestaccess links.
Here is the article on the update
