Try these:
1.
Open SharePoint Designer. Click Windows Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer.
2.
Click File in the menu near the top of the SharePoint Designer screen and select Open Site.
3.
Enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the Site name field near the bottom of the Open Site dialog box. Click the Open button.
4.
Choose your editing option. Depending on the configuration of your SharePoint site, you can choose to edit the live site, or edit a local copy and publish that copy to the server at a later time. Click the button next to your desired option and select OK.
5.
Enter your username and password if prompted and click OK.
SharePoint Designer is now connected with your SharePoint Server site.

Is there a way to create a hyperlink that will open the upload document window in SharePoint 2013?
I seen the following solution for sharepoint 2010 - but this doesn't seem to work in SP2013.

Thanks,
If you have Web app server installed, you can see the URL when you press the three dots.
I want to know how to edit a sharepoint 2013 site in sharepoint designer 2013, as I cant find an icon that does this.In sharepoint 2010, there was an icon to edit in sharepoint designer 2010; but in 2013 there is not?
If you click the "Page" tab you will get this option under the extended "Edit" button. It should read "Edit in SharePoint Designer".
Honestly, I havent found the edit in designer button either. I just downloaded and installed Designer 2013 and pasted in the URL of the site I wanted to open and edit. Worked the same for me.
you have two ways:
Make click in "Page Tab" then under "Edit Button" press Edit in
SharePoint Designer
Open the website with SharePoint Designer "Open
Site" and write your site URL.
"Page" Tab
Click the Arrow under "Edit"
and then "Edit in SharePoint Designer".
In my System this did only work when I wasn't in Editing Mode of the page.
Open SharePoint Designer. Click on: Open SharePoint Site, and then simply paste the URL of your site that you want to edit.
This will connect to that site and let you navigate all the necessary files and folders of that site, and edit those in accordance.
Under Library, Customize library, edit library, launch application
When trying to open excel TFS reports from within Visual Studio we keep getting prompted by excel for security credentials. It says it is trying to connect to
'http://myserver.mydomain.com'.
When I open the project portal using the above domain name in a browser and then try to open the report I get the prompt.
When I use just the server name, in other words,
'http://myserver'
to access the report, the security prompt goes away.
How do I configure TFS (or Visual Studio or whatever) so that when opening excel TFS reports it uses just the server name?
I have definitely run into this one before. It's a safety feature for Excel paired with SharePoint Document Libraries.
Essentially, here are the steps to "trust" the site:
Open Excel
Open Excel Options from the Backstage View
Head to Trust Center on right side at the very bottom.
Click "Trust Center Settings"
Click Trusted Locations
There are several things you want to do here next. If you want to trust network locations then click that option to enable it.
If you want to add a new trusted location then click "Add new location..."
Type in the full URL for the new location and then choose the box for "Subfolders of this location are also trusted."
That should do it!
BTW - from my un, you can have your IT department send these settings to all computers on your Active Directory domain through global policies so others don't have to go through these steps. They can also add this site to the Intranet Sites group in Internet Explorer for everyone internally which should help out in other similar scenarios.
Someone put a hyperlink to a document stored in SharePoint, in the All Links tab of a TFS task.
When I double click it, it opens up in a new browser tab in VS2010, then asks whether to download it ("Open/Save" dialog).
The result is that the file is downloaded and then opened as a local copy.
What I want to do is to open the document directly from the URL of the SharePoint site so editing will be done directly.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
I would asume that if you select "Open" that it would open off the sharepoint server. If this is not the case, then you would need to navigate to that document in Team Explorer or on the Sharepoint site and open it from there.
I'm working on a Visual Studio Add-in to edit files in SharePoint. From this Add-in I would like to be able to open SharePoint Designer with a specific SharePoint site.
Finding the application is no problem, its folder is in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\SharePoint Designer\InstallRoot, and the application is called SPDesign.exe.
I could only find a command-line switch to open a page (see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101487151033.aspx), not to open a site.
If I open a page like spdesign.exe /n http://myserver/pages/default.aspx, the page is opened with a name Untitled_1.aspx, and at the left side you don't see the site explorer.
Any ideas on how to automate the opening of a site, and if possible also the opening of a page in the site, with the site navigator on the left side and the actual page opened.
I think to open a site, you just pass in the URL of the site with with no switch.
spdesign.exe http://My_server/My_site
