Learning to Share Nicely in MS Office 2016

the similar feature pioneered by Google Docs, a colored flag in the document indicates where each collaborator is editing, but desktop www.office.com/setup spells out the full name of your co-editors while Google only shows you an initial (and Office in a browser only shows a colored flag).One benefit of this feature is that it's easy to create a collaborative Team Notebook in OneNote. Simply create a new notebook on a Microsoft cloud drive, and click the Share button to make it accessible to collaborators.

You can fine-tune permissions for collaborative editors either by right-clicking their names in the list under the Share button, or you can control sharing without opening the document itself by clicking on it in a browser window open to a list of your OneDrive files. Inside a document, when you click on a remote user's name in the Share menu, icons let you send a Skype IM, make a Skype call, or send an email message via your mail program.

One benefit of storing documents in www.office.com/setup cloud services is that you get easy access to previous versions, as in Google Docs, including the names of the different editors who saved collaborative documents at different times. A new History tab on the File menu opens a pane that lists saved versions; click on an item in the list, and that previous version opens in a new window so you can edit it as a separate file or copy text and graphics into the current version.
