Chrome Sharepoint Update Came Out

This make the process of checkout, edit, check it a lot more difficult obviously.

I had another program that installed a different version of Lync which caused the same problem you are having.

Ive also experienced this issue on a computer that had a version of Visio different from the rest of Office.

I had to close all browsers - including Chromes background process in the task bar and task manager, uninstall the incorrect versions, repair the correct version, and restart the computer.

That section affects downloading vs.

It also has to do with document type.

If you have at least Design permission to the Library in question, you can change the setting to open in browser.

If the default for ALL document libraries has changed to open in client, and you would like the default to be open in browser, you will need to go to Site Settings at the top level site (you need Admin privileges for the top site for this one I believe), then Site Collection Features.

Make sure that Office Web Apps is activated, and that Open Documents In Client Applications by Default is not activated.

If you click the high level link or name of the document it downloads a copy.

Try resetting the browser settings and see if that takes care of it.

Chrome Sharepoint Update Came Out

It seems like a chrome update came out and now opening in client app no longer works, all documents open in the web app (despite the default being client app in SP).

All users started experiencing the same problem on the same day.
