Central Templates Part 1
In this article, we examined how to change the default document template used by document library to create new document. However, each document library will have its own document template as SharePoint can only use documents stored in the forms folder as templates.
This poses a potential problem, especially when there are many document libraries using the same document template, and a new template was available requiring updating.
Linden Daniel, a MCS consultant currently based in Singapore were discussing how solve this problem for a client. After brainstorming, we came out with this elegant solution, which MCS later requested me to document this as the best practice for centrally manage templates. So Part 1 of the solution can be found here.
