I outlined the step-by-step instructions on how to do this in this post.
This is another great option for those suffering from metadata tagging fatigue. Office Applications Document Information Panelĭid you know that you can tag your documents completely outside of SharePoint? You can tag them right inside of the Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and once tagged – just upload back to SharePoint. This feature is available in both classical and modern libraries! Use the Document Properties drop-down list (top-left corner of the Document Information Panel) to choose Advanced Properties. I outlined this in great detail in this post. Within SharePoint you will see the selected value, but within Word these values are always empty. There is another way to tag many documents at once and that is via Quick Edit feature. We have a problem with Word 2016 and the Document Information Panel / Document Properties when we are storing the document within SharePoint Online and have a column which is a Multi value Choice Field (Checkboxes). But what if you need to tag multiple documents in the classical library? Keep reading! Option 3. It is important to note that this option is not available with classical libraries. The way it works, you select multiple files and choose Document Information Panel, just like above, and you can then apply properties to many documents at once. What if you want to tag multiple documents at once? In modern librarieswe now have a Bulk Edit option. With SharePoint Online you can still get classic experience for a document library, but hopefully, you run a modern document library experience, so your Document Information Panel looks like this (accessible when you click “i” in the upper-right-hand-corner of a document library): Usually Microsoft deprecates this functionality and provides some time to get used to the alternative (and sometimes the alternative is well, nothing). In older versions of SharePoint or SharePoint 2013/2016 on premises, you get the classic library experience, so your Document Information Panel looks like this: The Document Information Panel (DIP) is missing/unavailable/gonzo/absent/gone/AWOL in Office 2016. Your window might look different depending on what version of SharePoint you use. You upload or drag and drop a document to a SharePoint document library and then tag it along, in the Document Information Panel window. The first option is the classic one and most straightforward one that you can get. Option 1: SharePoint Document Information Panel Choose one that works best for you, and please tell those metadata drama queens who still complain! One of the most frequent complaints I hear about it is that (and I quote) “ It is a pain to tag documents with metadata every time they are uploaded to SharePoint.” I could not disagree more! So with this post, I would like to provide you with four convenient options to tag documents and edit document metadata in SharePoint. This is not a very good solution and I'm looking for a way to move from a Document Information Panel to a custom javascript add-in. Instead one should you the Properties panel available backstage. If you follow my blog, you probably know by now that I am a huge advocate of metadata. Previously this was possible with a Document Information Panel.
