You can review and edit documents in real time, but before doing so, you need to allow access to these documents by your staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First, open a new document in Word 2016 or Word Online. Once you\u2019ve done so, select<strong> Share<\/strong>, and then <strong>Save to cloud<\/strong>. You can share the document in OneDrive or in a SharePoint Online location. Once you press<strong> Save<\/strong>, you\u2019ll be able to share your document. Just select the<strong> Share panel<\/strong> and you\u2019ll have several options for doing so. You can select <strong>Invite people<\/strong> to summon additional assistance from others in your organization, or <strong>Get a sharing link<\/strong> to send the invite out through email or instant message.<\/p>\n<p>Once the invitations are sent and accepted, your team can then access the Word document and make changes. If you allow these changes to be made automatically, everyone will be able to see them as they happen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Communication is Critical<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can\u2019t have collaboration without communication. There are plenty of solutions available that help your business keep in touch while working together on a project. Microsoft Office 365 has a leg up on the competition because of its built-in integration with Skype for Business, allowing you to send messages or talk to anyone while working in a document.<\/p>\n<p>Word also keeps a complete record of any changes made to your document so that you always have access to various versions of your documents. This makes it quite an excellent way to see who has made which changes, and when. Of course, the best collaboration happens when your workforce knows the endgame of the project, and they can then work toward a common goal moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, many of these features are also available in other Microsoft products, including Publisher, Excel, PowerPoint, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Which of these features do you use most often in Office 365?
