Welcome to the GoFAST tutorial on document coediting.
To edit or co-edit a document, you must have a contributor or administrator role in a space where that document is visible.
Editing and co-editing options can be accessed by right-clicking on a document...
or from the preview window in the Burger menu.
A document can be edited using Onlyoffice.
This option has 2 main advantages :
Editing is done in the web browser and does not require any installed office suite...
and editing can be collaborative, i.e. several people at the same time.
While editing with Onlyoffice, the document is displayed as locked, but still accessible to other users in co-editing.
Saving runs automatically when the last collaborator closes the document tab.
A document can be edited from one's computer.
This option lets you work with the office suite installed on your computer to take advantage of its features.
While editing from one's computer, a document is marked as locked and is no longer available for editing by other users.
On saving, the document is automatically uploaded and updated in GoFAST.
