Document ID in SharePoint Online not working

Question

I need permanent links inside my SharePoint Online. To get permanent links, I have enabled the Document-ID Feature on the SiteCollection Level and configured Document ID Settings. I have checked the checkbox to update the document ID in the settings also.

After some time of waiting I neither see any SiteCollection column for Document-ID nor I see a DocumentID Column in my Document Libraries. After doing some research, I have found an article, saying I have to check update all content types during next refresh in the Content Type publishing hub. But still - I don't see Document-ID.

What could be the solution to get Document ID in my Libraries?

Answer 1

I believe that SharePoint Online now does unique identifiers by default without having to enable that feature. There's a copy link menu item in the item's context menu and the url contains a docid in the query string. The url remains the same even if you move the document to another location.

Answer 2

My bad. After recreating all the document IDs in SharePoint, I just had to add the column in the default view. After this, the document Id was visible.
