If you choose View-only, then only you will be able to make changes to the document. Next, you can give your collaborators different levels of permission, allowing them to make edits or restrict their access to View-only. If you’ve already saved your document to OneDrive, OneDrive for Business or SharePoint, all you need to do to invite others is to click the Share button in the upper right of the screen and type in their names or email addresses in the Invite people text box. Here are four ways the new Share feature in Office 2016 will change the way you work with others: Ready to collaborate? Invite your friends and colleagues! Seamless collaboration is at your fingertips. Collaborate without the hassle of passing around different versions of your documents. Tired of sending attachments back and forth and ensuring that everyone stays up-to-date? Tired of manually merging everyone’s edits into the final copy? Using Office 2016, your content stays in one place and no one has to miss out on other people’s edits ever again. Collaborating in Office has never been easier! Using Word, PowerPoint and Excel 2016, you can now easily share your documents with friends and colleagues and work with others on the same document simultaneously while using the rich formatting options you know and love. Last week, we introduced Office 2016 for Windows, which takes the work out of working together.
We’ll start the series off with a post about Sharing from Jade Kessler, program manager for the Office Core team.
So we hope you find these topics interesting and worth sharing. We’ll also talk about Office collaboration in different contexts -like in the office, the classroom and at home.
In the coming months, we’ll cover a wide variety of topics related to collaboration and how to get tasks related to collaboration done in Office. With the recent release of Office 2016 and a renewed focus on making it easier for our users to collaborate within Office, we’ve created a new blog series focusing on and highlighting new and existing collaboration features within Office. Welcome to the Collaboration in Office blog!
