Office online vs Client in SharePoint Modern
Hi all, We're using custom document templates attached to content types within our libraries (Modern UI). All libraries are set to open in the client version of office, but when a new doc is created...
This is by design. If you need to create new documents that do not open in Office Online, create them in the client application first and upload them.
Sounds like that design choice intends to ensure that any SharePoint user, not just E3+ users, can use all of O365's features. Makes sense.
