OfficeNow gives you several ways to collaborate online and in real time with users who have access to your documents:

Co-publishing - a mode for editing the same document with several people at the same time. By default, each edit made by one user is visible to other users connected at the same time and saved continuously.

You can identify the number of connected users at any time with the icons visible on the right of the top banner of your document.

OfficeNow offers you 2 co-editing modes allowing you to define when changes should be saved on the document and visible to others.

The different versions of your document will soon be accessible via a feature in OfficeNow, allowing you to return to a previous version.

The Revision mode is a collaborative work mode on the document including a validation process on the modifications proposed by the users.

To activate the Revision mode, click on the corresponding icon in the Collaborate menu.

Once this mode is activated, each edit is visible in the form of a highlight (color) and a comment when you click on the edit.

Each user editing the document will see his or her changes in a different color from the others.

Each user can then Accept or Reject an edit by clicking on the v and x icons in the small window showing the change made.

The Display Mode icon allows you to view the document in 3 ways:

To browse all revisions of a document more efficiently, click the Collaborate menu and use the To Previous Change and To Next Change functions and the Accept or Reject icons to browse all revisions.

Comments allow you to engage in a discussion about a word, phrase or part of the document with users accessing it.

To comment, select a text and with a right click or via the Add Comment icon on the Collaborate menu, enter your comment in the small window and click Add.

When a comment is added, the relevant text or passage is highlighted. Click on the highlighted area to display the comment.

The author of the comment can edit or delete the comment (the entire discussion).

All users accessing the document can participate in the discussion by clicking on Add a Reply.

Each reply can be edited or deleted by its author.

Once the conversation is over, the user can close the conversation by clicking on the validate or v icon in the upper right corner of the window.

On the Collaborate menu, click the Trash icon to access the options for deleting comments, including all comments published on the document.
