DMS Next allows you to create documents or files directly from the file list using the "New" button, with the ability to save them and set appropriate metadata during creation.

Where to find the “New” button to create new files

The "New" button is located at the top of the file list in the toolbar when you are in a document library, document set, or folder location.

When the New button is selected, a drop-down list will appear with files to create, based on the content types and their associated templates defined in the chosen location. For more information, see Create or customize a content type - SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Learn.

Once a document template is selected, a dialog will be presented to the user prompting for the file name and any metadata properties that are configured for the content type in that location.

After entering the necessary details, and selecting the Create button, a new file will be created with the entered metadata saved to it.
