Are there any cons to using Document IDs?
We are looking to use Document IDs where I work to make renaming/moving files/folders less painful. We've never activated this feature in our SharePoint, and wanted to know if there are any cons to doing so. From our perspective, it looks like a perfect tool! Is there a place that documents pros and cons, or are there experienced users that can share any negative unintended consequences with me before we get running with Document IDs in our organization?
SPO and Document ID Service (Bug, Communications site and what's coming?)
Hi, Issue: In SPO (Modern) I have found an issue with the Document ID service when subsites are present. Enabling the feature on a site with sub-sites doesn't create the Document ID field and the "Begin IDs with the following characters" setting under the Document ID Settings is empty. Removing the subsites and reactivating the feature solves it and creating subsites post activation the Document ID service works fine on the subsites as well. I'm aware on the recommendation on avoiding subsites as far as possible but still this is an issue that needs attention. This leads to my next questions... ...Looking at the Document ID service feature it hasn't been rebuilt/reworked for the "new" SharePoint which makes me wonder if there are any pitfalls and issues enabling the feature on Communications sites today? Besides, are there any plans to modernize the Document ID service to fit the modern SP and work better cross site collections or what's coming around this feature? Thanks! /A
