How is the '+ New' menu populated in document libraries?
By default, mine includes: Now I was under the impression that each entry represents a content type? So why, when I enable 'allow mana...
Hi, I've been playing around with Documents Sets and don't agree that everything is working by design, compared to the classic view.
This all might make sense if you are using a custom content type that represents a document, but it doesn't fit if it's document set.
Classic Experience:
- Single Content Type: Document Set
- You can only add "Document Set" at the top level
- You can add "Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote" file within a document set
New Experience:
- Single Content Type: Document Set
- You can add "Document Set" and "Link" as content types at the top level
- You can again add "Document Set" and "Link" as a content type within the document set itself
To me the "new experience" doesn't make any sense, when I imagine an information worker that is supposed to "only work" within Office 365 and Office Online. How are we supposed to create documents in the document set, without using other tools (e.g. Uploads) ?
One additional correction. I just removed the extra content type from my document set so its just document (the default) and now when inside the document set the new button shows Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and folder. Which is what I think you were expecting. Not sure why you are seeing something different.
