How to give a direct link to create a New document from a Content Type in a Library?
This might also help?
"What I really need is to find out how to create a link that jumps our users straight to create a doc from the content type,, so they don’t have to navigate to the library and work out which template they need."
For the non-macro ones we can use a link that looks like this:
https://xxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/XXXXXXX/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc={03474314-531a-4b96-a0dd-f87b37567e2a}&action=editnew
But my problem was we also wanted to do that for a dotm template, but that was where I had endless calls with MS, but no resolution.
**Hope this saves you some time 🙂 **
I am just struggling with the link URL. I am note sure which Sourcedoc-ID you are using that it automatically creates a new document. Everytime I try an empty sourcedoc ID or some which doesn´t exists, an error occurs. So I am not sure how to tell the SharePoint that he has to create a sourcedoc ID on its own.
But thank you for the reply.
