I created a document library template that is the only one we want people to use, but of course, with no way to "hide" the others....there's no guarantee that people will use the ones we don't want them to use!! laura67 on "Enforce Versioning" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/enforce-versioning#post-4168 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 10:33:59 +0000 laura67 4168@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Good question. I have no idea. Probably that whole custom site definitition idea would come into play.

How would I hide all the other default templates? So users can only use my custom template when creating document libraries? Thanks for your help. laura67 on "Enforce Versioning" http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/topic/enforce-versioning#post-4130 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:32:32 +0000 laura67 4130@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/ Then, you'd just have to put that template on every site collection, and get your users to use that new one instead of the built-in document library template.

I believe that you have to be a site collection administrator to save a document library as a template. Make sure that when you save it to not include content - just the structure. To enforce versioning, open the library and click Settings, then select Document Library Settings option. This opens the Customize Document Library page. Under the General Settings heading, click on the Versioning link. This opens the Versioning Settings page where you can specify the type of versioning - none, major/minor versions, or major versions only. You can also specify how many earlier versions to keep. While you're at it, you should click "Yes" to require checkout to edit the document. It's the last option on the page. To save the document library as a template, under the Permissions heading on the Customize Library page, click the "Save document library as template" and complete the information displayed on the page. You can save content in the library in the template, if you wish.
