Installation on SharePoint

Within your SharePoint environment, a dStyle (or LegalWord) site is created. Here the folders Content, Shared and Installer are created by Documentaal. The folders contain:

  • Content – text fragments, models and other company data
  • Shared – configuration of dStyle (or LegalWord) for your office
  • Installer – *.msi and installation manual

Synchronize dStyle (or LegalWord) files

To be able to use dStyle (or LegalWord) anywhere, even if there is no internet connection, these 3 folders have to be placed locally using the Sharepoint synchronization button. The folders are then available locally, but remain linked to the central source (Sharepoint).

  1. Open the Content folder and click the Synchronize button at the top of the Sharepoint bar.
  2. Sharepoint starts preparing for synchronization via OneDrive and requests permission to do so. Click on the Yes button.
  3. Log in with your SharePoint account and click on the Sign in button.
  4. If necessary, adjust the location for the synchronized folder and then click the Next button.
  5. An instruction on how to use OneDrive and synchronized folders will then appear. You can close this instruction with the cross at the top right of the screen.
  6. The Windows explorer will open and the dStyle (or LegalWord) – Content folder will be visible at the chosen location. Set the folder so that it is always available. In Windows Explorer, right-click on the Content folder and choose ‘Always keep on this device’. The cloud behind the folder changes to a green check mark.


  7. In Sharepoint, the synchronization screen remains visible. Click on the cross in the upper right corner to close the screen.

Repeat steps 1, 2, 6 and 7 for the Shared and Installer folders. Steps 3 to 5 are skipped because the login details are known.

When creating a new document, you can choose which profile you want to use. By setting favourite profiles, you will not see all the profiles, but only those that are important to you. In the Favourite Profiles screen, all profiles are shown on the left. Move the profiles of the employees for whom you create documents to the right. When creating a document, only the profiles on the right will now be displayed. Which profiles are favourite can of course be adjusted by you at any time.
