Alot of posts have been written about the late-2019 rolled out feature to create organization library’s.
After playing around a bit I’ve decided to make a short manual on how to achieve these 2 types of library’s.
General info for this topic I used is:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/organization-assets-library
There are two types of Organization asset types;
1. Office templates
2. Images
The name says it all, one is to use in the office tools, the ‘images’ one you can use to create a subset of images for all people to use while editing SPO pages for example.
To create any or both of these asset types open any SharePoint online site, this can either be a community or teamsite.
On this site create 2 new Document Librarys, by choosing, New -> Documentlibrary
You can decide the names yourself but you chould use someting like ‘Office Templates’ and ‘Default Images’.
Next step is to open PowerShell as administrator.
Make sure you have ‘SharePoint Online Management Shell’ installed. To download: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35588
In PowerShell type;
Connect-SPOService -Url https://tenant-name-admin.sharepoint.com
For the Office Template library:
Add-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary -LibraryURL “https://tenant-name.sharepoint.com/sites/Start/Office Templates” -OrgAssetType OfficeTemplateLibrary
For the Default Images library:
Add-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary -LibraryURL “https://tenant-name.sharepoint.com/sites/Start/Default Images” -OrgAssetType ImageDocumentLibrary
Where Start is your sitename and Office Templates / Default Images are your newly created DocumentLibrary’s.
For the CDN messages you can choose ‘yes to all’, more information on this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/use-office-365-cdn-with-spo
The Default Images library should be visible relatively quick, to check this open any SharePoint online site, and choose to edit the Site, browse for an image and you should see ‘Your organization’ listed in the left Menu.
For the Office Templates it’s a little different. Here is the catch, it seems Office 365 version 1908 is not supporting these SharePoint template settings, once you upgrade to version 2005 you will see the template folder immediately.
(To update to newest version make sure you tenants settings are on the curren-channel).
Or you can also run this in an elevated command prompt:
setlocal
reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration\ /v CDNBaseUrl if %errorlevel%==0 (goto SwitchChannel) else (goto End)
:SwitchChannel
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration /v CDNBaseUrl /t REG_SZ /d "https://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/492350f6-3a01-4f97-b9c0-c7c6ddf67d60" /f
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration /v UpdateUrl /f
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Configuration /v UpdateToVersion /f
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ClickToRun\Updates /v UpdateToVersion /f
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\OfficeUpdate\ /f
:End
Endlocal
pause
Let me know if this helped you out.
