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 Content Types, 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.
