SharePoint Online Content Type Template .xlsm

Hi Folks,

 

Just wondering if anyone has tried to create a Content Type with a custom template of .xlsm?
According to Microsoft an .xlsm file should open in EXCEL online with the Macros disabled.

 

We have a requirement of a content type with a custom template with the file type of .xlsm and to open online so it autosaves back into the Doc Lib - when we click on new within the Doc Lib it automatically tries to open in the desktop app and says it cant find the file?

 

Wondering if anyone has came across this before?

  • I have never tried this, but you can test it in the modern UI by using the "Templates" features we have in the modern UI

      Yeah so using the "Templates" feature in Modern Sites works, issue is there's a few 100 sites that this content type will be applied to, so need to be able to easily update them when a new version of the template is published.
