Introduction

Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and other Microsoft Office documents can be edited online using the Microsoft Office online editor. For this feature to work, a Microsoft license is required for each user who is editing.

This feature can be used to edit documents on the go, or to collaborate on a single document with multiple editors.
