Work together

Several people can work in the same document at the same time. You can see each other's changes as you type. This means you do not need to send different versions of the same file to one another.

Everyone who edits needs a Microsoft license.

What you need

• DOX: Online Edit is included in all packages. You do not need an additional module.
• Microsoft license: You need a Microsoft 365 license that allows you to edit in Office for the web. The features in the document come from Microsoft. If you are unsure which license you have, ask your IT department.
• Permissions in DOX: You need write permission in the folder in Dox.

How the document is saved

The document remains in DOX at all times. Microsoft manages the editing, such as text, tables, and formulas. DOX saves the document when the user chooses to publish. This happens in one of two ways:

• Click the Publish button in the upper-right corner
• Choose Go back and click Publish and exit
