Duplicate Document ID In Document Library

Question

I have a document library in SharePoint 2013 that has a few documents with the same document ID. Is there anyway I can regenerate this without reuploading the documents?

I've tried the fix mentioned here for SharePoint 2010 but that didn't work.

Answer 1

you can reset the all document Id in a site please look at this post

Answer 2

There is no option to do so in the UX! But you can update a Document ID programmatically. The ID is stored in the list item field named _dlc_DocId and the redirect link in _dlc_DocIdUrl. Using the SharePoint PnP PowerShell cmdlets, you can easily regenerate your duplicate Document IDs like I'm doing in the example below:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://hostname/sites/site
$file = Get-PnPFile "Shared Documents/Test.docx"
$file.ListItemAllFields["_dlc_DocId"] = "YourNewID"
$file.ListItemAllFields.SystemUpdate()
Execute-PnPQuery

You do not need to update the _dlc_DocIdUrl value as the Document ID event receiver will in turn update and align it with the new ID. However, beware that the Document ID redirect link will not work until search has reindexed the document!
