Different Templates in SharePoint Document Library

In a lot of situations you want different templates under the new button in a SharePoint document Library:

  • Create a new content type: Site Actions >> Site Settings >> Galleries >> Site Content Types
  • Create

  • Click: "OK"
  • Advanced settings >> Add a new document template

  • Optionally: You can also choose enter the url (pre requirst the template in already uploaded in a sharepoint document library, you can do this also as step one)
  • Connect the new content type to the document library where you want to see the template
  • Go to your document library >> Settings >> Advanced Settings
  • Mark/check: Allow Management of content types
  • Go back to the document library settings (you see lot of more options now since we checked the option allow management of content types)

  • Click add from existing site content types
  • Select your content type we defined in de first steps of this tutorial (mine is Prince2)
  • Click OK
  • Optionally you can Change the new button order and default content type (see image above).
  • Now users can select the template under the new button in the document library. This could also be other document template types (Excel, PowerPoint etc.)
