Link a document in a different Team or Channel

Sometimes you want to keep a file available in two places, so different audiences or circumstances can access it easily. These steps will show you how to create a shortcut from a file in one location of Teams or OneDrive to another location in Teams.

Open the Shared tab of the destination for the shortcut
Click the + New button
Select Link from the menu
The window below will appear, if you have the sharing link saved to your clipboard, you may paste it and name it; otherwise, select See all files to navigate to the desired file
A version of the online OneDrive navigation page will appear, where you can search for your desired file
Locate the file and place a checkmark next to it
Select the Add shortcut button (you may need to scroll down to see the button)
The shortcut will appear in the original location
