Question: If I have content composition, is there a way to have the finished document land in a different folder or document library than the template? I can see using content routing, but that feature is not yet available
- Hi Mario, I trigger the content creation via a 'For a selected item' Power Auto trigger then a 'Generate document using SharePoint Syntex (preview)' action, it still places the composed doc in the template folder but I use downstream actions to move the file and convert to PDF. * I'm assuming 'content composition' is the same as 'content assembly'.
- This is the action I was referring to. I know I can use a downstream action after the document has generated. Was wondering about the addition of the redirect target location so that the doc wasn't generated (even briefly) in the source location. There is a concern about permissions and directing to the target with permissions intact. Thanks for the fast reply. I'll continue to use this approach for now.

I agree with Wayne's suggestion. Modern templates are currently stored against a library, which is where the generated documents are stored. Another option would be to use Power Automate to generate the docs based on another input- such as a list. This list could have different permissions to the doc library.
