Latest revision history

25 December 2020 Improved author images. Show "Create a new TMTemplates library" button only if current user is a Site Admin. Fixed dialog size in the SPFX version.
7 December 2020 Version 3 is a major re-build of Templates Manager, using a new programming language called TypeScript. Microsoft markets it as "JavaScript for the Enterprise", and it has given us some new possibilities.

We can for example get rid of the Publisher and User installations. There is now only one setup, and it can be used for both templates distribution and template selection and usage.

Version 3 of Templates Manager gives "Templates Manager" buttons in all document libraries in sites where Templates Manager has been installed or activated, and these buttons open all templates that the user has access to from all templates libraries in the farm or tenant.

Templates Manager V3 comes in three editions: SPFX extension, Sandboxed solution and PowerShell package. They give the same features, but the installation methods are different.

Another important development is that we have moved away from using libraries for doing calls to SharePoint. Instead we are now using direct REST API calls for everything that we need to do with SharePoint, and that makes our code performance much better.
