Publish Links to Office in SharePoint 2013?

Does Publish Links to Office in SharePoint 2013 work with Office 2013?

I have tried setting this up but it does not appear to work.

  • I published a link within the user profile service.
  • Went to my MySite, on my document library "SkyDrive Pro"
  • I connected to office.
  • This popped up with the warning, I accepted this.

I can now access the word template from my "SkyDrive Pro" library when I open Word but I do not get "SharePoint Sites" on the open or save dialog. I have tired both x86 and x64 versions of office.

Thanks

Hi Edd,

I am afraid you must add the link in your Central Administration.

  1. Navigate to the My sites Settings sections in the User Profile Services Application page.
  2. Click the Publish Links to Office Client Applications link.
  3. Click the New link.
  4. Provide the URL For the published link and description and description.
  5. Select the publication end-point type in the drop-down.

Thanks,

Jack

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your instructions but that is what I did first when I published a link within the user profile service. I cannot see this link or my SkyDrive Pro.

Can you confirm you have this working with SharePoint 2013 and Office 2013?

Thanks

Unfortunately not! I must admit I thought I was on my own with this problem. When I get back to the SharePoint project I will update this thread with any updates.

my problem turned out to be mostly silly.  i was looking in the wrong folder, well, arguably Office was.

i've put some detail in my comments on this site http://paulliebrand.com/2011/09/27/set-as-default-my-site-sharepoint-sites-or-my-sharepoint-sites-missing-in-office-2010-on-sharepoint-2007/#comment-1057141930

Hi,

I am somewhat lost and can't get it to work.

We are on Office 365 E3, so everything Cloud-based. I added some links in the Sharepoint admin console, but nothing is showing up in Word et al.

At what point in time this links are published? Will current users benefit from this links? Where exactly should they show up in e.g. Word2013?

Any help and hints highly appreciated.

Thanks,
