Site template: How to make a Content Type a default one?
Hello SP gurus, I am working on a site template to apply to sites which add a content type from the hub. I wonder how can I make it default one rather than "Documents"?
Configure the Default Content Type
- After enabling https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-a-content-type-to-a-list-or-library-917366ae-f7a2-47ad-87a5-9689a1884e60#:~:text=be%20available%20shortly.-,Go%20to%20the%20settings%20for%20the%20list%20or%20library.,Then%20select%20OK., go back to the Library Settings page.
- Locate the Content Types section (refer to Screenshot 1). Here, you’ll see a list of content types associated with the library.
- If your desired content type is not listed, click Add from existing site content types to add it.
- Once the desired content type is visible:
- Click Change new button order and default content type (circled in Screenshot 1).
- On the following page (refer to Screenshot 1 and Screenshot 2):
- Adjust the Position from Top to place your desired content type at the top.
- Ensure the “Visible” checkbox is selected for all necessary content types.
- Click OK to save changes.
