Editing Office documents together online with Only Office

This feature is only available in netfiles Data Room Professional and Premium.

OnlyOffice allows you and the users of your data room to edit Office documents together directly in the data room. This feature is only available in netfiles Professional.

A data room administrator must first activate the feature in the data room:

Go to “Documents” in the data room settings (as administrator). Here you will find the “Shared document editing” feature under “Online documents.” Check this box.

Editing a file together is saved in the activity log. The changes made by each user are not saved.

With OnlyOffice, users can edit documents together with other users of the data room as follows:

In the Documents section, select the desired Office document and click on “Edit together” on the right.

Other users will see the label “Working copy” next to the document name and two pens as an icon, which means “editing together.” By checking the document and clicking on “Edit together” on the right, users can now edit the document together and simultaneously.

Every change is saved immediately, and while editing, you can see what other users have changed.
