Webpages in Document Library

Question

I’ve been struggling to recreate a functional example of a document library designed to house webpages rather than traditional documents. The goal is to use it for tracking policies, statuses, versions, etc.

Previously, I had a working prototype, but it seems to have stopped functioning. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Created a document library and a template webpage.
• Set up a content type and adjusted the library settings accordingly.
• However, when selecting “New” from the library, it generates a new site page that doesn’t populate back into the library.

I’ve experimented with various .aspx links for the content template, and SharePoint Server Publishing is enabled.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Dear UserC55

Good day!

Thank you very much for the screenshot.

I understand your feelings very much. According to the screenshot and description you provided, you mentioned that the document library you created before had worked, so it is very likely that there is a problem on the server side leading to no work. I'm afraid this issue is related to the backend where it needs to further check by the related development team by collecting activity log for SharePoint document library. In this situation, I am sorry and recommend you to connect with the related development team where they can check the internal sources and investigate the issue further.

So, I request you to connect with your IT admin of your organization (How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support) and ask them to raise a new service request from the Microsoft 365 admin center so that the related development team will connect with you and investigate the issue further.

Reference: Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

Apologies for redirecting you to the related development team support as the moderators in this community have limited resources to check the backend information, and to get the fast and better assistance we requested for it.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Dear UserC55

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. I am happy to help you.

Created a document library and a template webpage.

If it is convenient for you, I would like to confirm the template website mentioned in this step, please provide the screenshot of the template website or the button created, so that I can also test it here.

I look forward to your reply. Thanks for your cooperation.
