Open Office file links in Office Online
Microsoft Office 5532.1000
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
This policy setting controls which version of Office opens when a hyperlink to an Office file stored on OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or a SharePoint Online team site is selected. By default, a hyperlink to a file stored in one of these locations opens the file in the Office client version of Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. This is the version of Office that is installed on the user’s computer. If Office isn’t installed on the user’s computer, the file is opened in the Office Online version of the program in the user’s web browser. If you enable this policy setting, a hyperlink to an Office file stored in one of these locations opens the file in the Office Online version of Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. This opens the file in the user’s web browser. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, a hyperlink to an Office file stored in one of these locations opens the file in the Office client version of Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, if Office is installed on the user’s computer. Note: This policy setting only applies to subscription versions of Office, such as Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.
