Streamlined Word Application Online For Free

Co-edit a document After you share your document, you can work on that file at the same time with others. For the best experience, work together in Word for the web and see real-time changes. Under Share, you will see the names of who else is also editing the file.

Enable editing in your document Go to File > Info. Select Protect document. Select Enable Editing.

Select Share and then select Link settings. Choose the permissions you want, choose if you want to Allow editing, and then select Apply. Type the names or email addresses you want to share with, add an optional message, and select Send.

Share your document using OneDrive Click on the "File" tab, followed by the "Share" button. Enter the emails of the people you want to share your document with or select their email addresses from a drop-down list of saved contacts. Click on the "Edit" option to give editing permission to the people who click the link.

To make changes to a document, in the upper-right corner, select Edit Document > Edit. If someone else created the document, they might not allow editing. You can go to File > Save as, save it with another name, and edit the new document. Or you can ask the document owner to enable editing.

Select Edit Document > Edit in Browser. If anyone else is working on the document, you'll see their presence and the changes they're making. We call this coauthoring, or real-time collaboration. From here, if you'd rather work in your Word app, switch from Editing to Open in Desktop App, near the top of the window.
