How to change default document behavior
I am looking for how to change the settings for how documents open from SharePoint (and Teams). Most of the time our users need to open Excel in desktop version and not online. But they have to click...
Just because no one said it yet - This is obviously a design flaw. There is no logical reason to have this as a document library setting, much less the only place to configure this be at the document library level. This should be a user preference that takes precedence over the document library setting, if the doc lib setting even remains. I'm sure there is some long story that can explain how it came to this, but M365 has come far enough that this sort of bizarre UX can and should be left behind with the old, bad sharepoint of yesteryear.
