Creating new documents

There are two simple methods for creating new documents:

1. Click the New icon () on the toolbar to create a document with the default content type, in the current SharePoint location. The arrow next to the New button shows a list of available document and folder types, as configured in the SharePoint document library.
   
2. Right-click the document list, when there is no selected item, and select New.

When you create a document it automatically opens in the associated application.

Note: New documents need to be checked in before they become available to other SharePoint users.
