Hi all,
I am wondering if it is possible to have a button/link inside an app which users can click to open a word document? Either on the desktop Word or online Word?
Thanks in advance
Hi @jolebe09 ,
If you store the Word document in a SharePoint Library and then link the Library as a Data Source to your app, then you can Launch the 'Link to item' property of the Library File record.
