.ASPX Files Now Download Instead of Launching from SharePoint
Hello all,
My organization has recently discovered an issue with .aspx files hosted on SharePoint. We've been using them to launch Storyline and Rise files so they act like web pages (like this). ...
We have multiple SharePoint Online sites and some don't have the custom scripts permission enabled due to the IT and security restrictions, hence the asp files will force download instead of open in the browser on those sites. The workaround for us is to get a site owner to upload the asp file to the SharePoint site that has the custom scripts enabled, then use the "move to" or "copy to" SharePoint feature to transfer the files to the other SharePoint sites. For some reason the permission retains, and the asp files would open in browser on all sites regardless the custom scripts permissions. Not sure if this method will continue work as the future SharePoint updates may block it, but at least it works for us now.
