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...
So, how do you activate the Site Collection feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default?"
I don't have the details at my fingertips, but there is a better per-user setting now that didn't exist at the time of my last viewing this thread, in 2021. Recently it's been working much more consistently, and it doesn't depend solely on which document library your link is in.
