Collaborating in The Cloud

By Sue Hughes
February 28, 2014

One of the great advantages of working with files in a cloud drive is sharing documents with other reviewers/authors in real time. Real time is the actual time during which reviewers are making changes to the document. This can be accomplished with all reviewers working in a Web App, with one or more in the Microsoft Office 2013 desktop application, using Office on Demand, or any combination of those mentioned ' the latter two will be referred to as the Non-Web Apps for the purpose of this column.

While real time is mentioned, you won't actually see all of the other revisions when working in the Non-Web App until the document is saved, so be sure to save frequently while working in the Non-Web App. The Web App does not have a Save feature, but shows changes in real time, and saves automatically.
