Set the default open behavior for browser enabled documents
I was recently asked how to configure documents that are in a SharePoint document library to open in their native application on the client computer instead of the browser.

What permissions do users get if you accept their access request? How are those users managed on the SharePoint site and is there a best practice for managing access requests? Watch the video below to find out!
