Launch word using Link to Item loads earlier version of document

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hi,

 

I have a PowerApp which opens a Word document in a SharePoint Document Library using

 

Launch(Gallery1.Selected.'Link to item')

 

but oddly when any of the documents in the gallery open in a new browser window in Word Online, it is the previous version.  It is the same for me, a co-owner, and a user.   This is true regardless of whether the document has been opened on that computer or by that user as far as I can tell. I can't see any good reason for this, so I'm reaching out.  Where should I look for a fix?

 

Thanks for your time.

    Hi,

    The only reason that I can think of is the file is checked-out by someone else.

    Have you checked that?

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that’s not it, it is happening with all files in the library.
