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?

    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
