I'm having this problem where I'm creating a document set, and the New Document button is greyed out. I've searched the internet for answers, and I've tried them all:

  • Activating Client Integration -> was already activated, deactivating and reactivating didn't solve the problem.

  • Enabling content type management -> was already enabled, disabling and reenabling didn't solve.

  • Disabling UAC -> Major WTF of a solution. Tried anyway, didn't work.

  • Adding and removing different content types to the library. Didn't work. I even set it to accept all content types. Still didn't work.

  • I've also checked for any code that might be forcing the button to be disabled. There is none.

BTW I'm an admin and my permissions are set for full control.

  • I do not find anything on that link explaining why this could help getting the New Document icon to be enabled. Can you please explain? :)

  • i checked ULS and found this error: "UserAgent not available, file operations may not be optimized" whenever I'm opening the docset so I tried that and worked.

    Oh in addition - if you're also using custom masterpage, it might be conflicting with the docsethomepage.aspx when opening the docset

  • The answer was your last comment. After a lot of javascript debugging I found out that the site style is removing a tag that Sharepoint is looking for. Thanks!
