How to create links to documents in SharePoint 

Tags:

This is a handy feature for those who need to manage a document from one location, but they need copies of it in multiple locations.

 

Ø  Go to the library where the document you want to share via a link resides and click on Settings

Ø  Under the General Settings section click on Advanced Settings

Ø  Under the Content Type section click the radio button under Allow management of content types, then click Ok

Ø  Under Content Types click on Add from existing site content types

Ø  Under Select Content Types locate the Link To A Document content type in the list, highlight it and click on the Add button to move it into the right pane.

Ø  Now go to the library where you want to put the link, click on the dropdown arrow next to the new button and click on Link to a Document.

Ø  Under the Document Link section enter the name of the document and the URL and click ok

Ø  You have just linked a document from one library to another.
