[Autogenerated] Hi. In this lesson, I'm
gonna show you how to download documents.
Let's go ahead. We're in our HR team site
and we want to move to our document. This
library now, we don't have very many
documents in this document library right
now, but we have a folder for contracts
and there are Maur files in there. Now
let's see that we want to download one of
these contracts because we're gonna print
it out and give it to somebody. Let's say
we want the computer service contract.
Let's go ahead and let's select that Now
there's a couple of ways that we can
download these documents. Of course, you
know, being Microsoft, there's always more
than one way to perform an action. First
thing we're gonna do is select that
document and come up here to the top and
you'll see that we have a big download
button. So let's go ahead and let's click
that. We're gonna click there and see what
happens. This window popped up at the
bottom. Now I'm using the Microsoft Edge
browser, and if you're using a different
browser, likes a chrome or safari, you
might have a little bit of a different
experience here. It might look a little
bit different than maybe some different
options, but for the most part, you're
going to get a similar box and you'll see
what it's doing is asking me, what do we
want to do with this contract? We want to
simply open it. No, no, I want to save it.
Yes, that is what I want to do. And I
could cancel the whole operation if I
want. But if I click on save, what's gonna
happen is it will download this document
right into my downloads folder. And that's
okay. There's nothing wrong with that. I
know that, and I'll know that's where it's
gonna be. But you see this little arrow
here? If I click that I get some different
options, I can choose to save or save ___.
Now, what save, as is going to do, is give
me the opportunity to save this document
with a different name. And if I want to
save it in a different place somewhere
other than my downloads folder So I'm
gonna go ahead and I'm going to click on
that and you see what happens is it opened
up my windows Explorer right to the
downloads folder. Now, like I said, that's
okay. But what I would really like to do
is save it into my documents folder. So
I'm going to click on the Documents folder
in my Windows Explorer and I have the file
name Now. I could go ahead and I could
change this name if I wanted to. I don't
necessarily want to. I just wanted to
change the place where it was saved. So
I'm going to go ahead and simply click on
Save and you see It now says that it has
finished downloading. And if I click on
Open folder, it'll open up my Windows
Explorer to that Documents folder and
there we see that contract, and now I can
do whatever I need to do with it here from
my computer Now, Like I said, there's more
than one way to go ahead and download a
document. Let's take the cleaning contract
this time and you'll see once it's
selected. I've got my ellipses here, my
show actions, and if I click there, I have
the download button here is well, and if I
click there, I get the same options again.
So this time I'm simply going to click on
Save and it is finished downloading. So
I'm gonna open the folder and you'll see
that this time it saved it to the
downloads folder. So now you know how to
download documents from a SharePoint
document library. Thanks for listening. And I'll see you next time.
