Modern work thrives on collaboration. With desktop co-authoring, you can edit documents simultaneously in Microsoft 365 while M-Files organizes information, guides business processes, and automates security and compliance.
Desktop co-authoring brings you the best-in-class authoring experience, enhancing your satisfaction, engagement, and adoption. By managing the full lifecycle of documents within M-Files, you will boost productivity and minimize risks.
What can you do now that you couldn't do before?
M-Files co-authoring now supports the Windows desktop versions of Microsoft 365 applications, such as PowerPoint, Word, and Excel. Previous co-authoring only supported the web versions of these Microsoft 365 applications.
With this new release, co-authoring becomes the default behavior when opening a document. Documents can still be opened in read mode or checked out for personal editing. With co-authoring, M-Files preview now shows the live version of documents even when they are being edited.
