Co-author Office files

Try it!

When you save your Office files in OneDrive, SharePoint, or Teams, you can work on them with others—at the same time. You can do this whether you're in an online app or a desktop app.

1. Select  Share in the top-right corner and choose  Share again.

2. Enter the email addresses of the people you'd like to work on your file with, or if you have their contact info stored in your address book, enter their names.

3. Type a short message if you want.

4. Select Send.

Tip: To get a link to send in email, Teams chat, or a document, select   Share and choose  Copy Link. Once you see the Link copied message, the link is in your clipboard. To  set who can use the link or what they can do with it, select  Settings and follow the prompts.
