How can I stop a document opening in the wrong app every time?
Our answer
Change the file type's default application in system settings, then test a sample file from the same folder.
Why this approach makes sense
Permissions, backups and account settings determine whether a digital fix is reliable. Prefer reversible changes from the provider’s own settings.
Before you try it
Verify the recipient, permissions and recovery path before sharing confidential material or changing account access.
