Have you ever had the situation where 2 or more people need to work on the same document.  This need has become greater with the “Work From Home” world we live in.  Your Microsoft subscription provides an opportunity for document collaboration.

Using Office applications (such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint) with OneDrive or SharePoint, multiple people can work on documents at the same time.  This style of collaboration is called co-authoring.

Here are 4 things to know about co-authoring:

1 – See who else is in the document

When you are collaborating in a document you can easily see who else is working on the document.

2 – See Where Others Are in The Document

Not only can you see who else is in the document, but you can also see where they are in the document.  There is also the option to navigate to that location (particularly useful if your document has more than 2 pages).

3 – Communicate With Each Other

With the use of comments, @mentions and emails, you can efficiently discuss content and details.

4 – Works in Web and Desktop Application

Co-authoring is a solution which works across desktop and web office applications.
