Hide "edit document" drop down
Hello everyone;I have a little bit of an unusual problem. I have a document library for "final" documents only. This means that users can edit metadata, but not the documents themselves. We have created a custom upload page, which allows users to send the documents to the "correct" SharePoint library, but the easiest way to edit document metadata is to have them browse to the document in the library and select "edit properties." The problem is that that also provides them the option to "edit document," which we don't want them to do.Is there any way (short of creating a complete custom interface) that would allow users to edit metadata but not edit the document content?Thanks.

A 'dirty' solution can be to configure list view without render edit document columns and then create a new one to enable the functionality of edit properties. Otherwise you can try to write some jquery to hide that menu.--marco--marco @avanade
