Scenarios for document co-authoring
The following three scenarios illustrate some of the possible options and outcomes when using and not using Microsoft Office’s document management and co-authoring functionality in WorkZone.
Scenario definitions
- Andrew: The first user who opens the document.
- Bill: The second user who opens the document.
- Chris: Hypothetical user who opens the document before Bill can.
Throughout all scenarios, Andrew opens the document first and the document is therefore initially locked for any changes Bill might want to save.
Scenarios
Scenario 1: Edit and merge into server document
Scenario 2: Local copy: Manually merge or upload new document
