Link for creating new document

Hi!
I want to create a button, which will creating a new document and saved it in a library. 


Please tell me if there is such an opportunity and what link to insert to create a new document?

  • Pavel48n0sh out-of-the-box this isn't possible as far as I know: SharePoint won't know what type of document you are creating or what it's name is.

    Hi Pavel48n0sh,

    if you want to open the files in the client applications of Office, then you can use the Office URI Scheme
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/office-uri-schemes 

    This link for example will open word, select a template from the given url and will prompt the user to save it in the given document folder

    ms-word:nft|u|https://tenant.sharepoint.com/templates/template.docx|s|https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite/documents


    But you cannot use that in a default modern UI button, since that only accepts "http://","https://" and "mailto:" protocols.



    Best Regards,
    Sven
