Select Edit Document > Edit in Browser. If anyone else is working on the document, you'll see their presence and the changes they're making.

We call this coauthoring, or real-time collaboration. From here, if you'd rather work in your Word app, select Edit in Word, near the top of the window.

Collaboration is a simple three step process: You save the document to OneDrive or SharePoint Online, so others can work in it. You invite people to edit it with you. When they open and work in the document in Word for Mac 2016 you'll see each other's changes as soon as they're made.

You'll still be coauthoring, as long as you're an Office 365 subscriber, using one of these versions of Word: • Word 2016 for Windows • Word 2016 for Mac • Word on a mobile device (Android, iOS, or Windows) If you're using an older version of Word, or if you're not a subscriber, you can still edit the document at the same time others are working in it, but you won't have real-time collaboration. To see others' changes and share yours, you'll have to save the document from time to time.

If Microsoft were to have a motto for Office 2016, it could well be the old coaching adage 'There is no 'I' in 'team.' The suite offers considerable collaborative and teamwork features that turn Office from a tool for a single person into one that helps people work together. If you work by yourself and will use Office as a standalone product, you'll find far fewer changes from Office 2013. That's not necessarily a bad thing – Office is already so stacked with features that adding new ones just for the sake of it could harm rather than help its usability. How successful has Microsoft been in adding collaboration features? And how useful are the handful of non-collaborative features added to the core of Office? That's what I'll cover in the rest of this review.

Share and share alike The Office suite, particularly Word, has long had the best features of any productivity-tool suite for letting people review each other's documents – I've always thought that its change-tracking, markup and reviewing features were the gold standard for document review. As someone who makes a living as a writer, I can't imagine doing without them. But previous versions of Office fell short in real-time collaboration features that allow people to work on documents simultaneously no matter where they are in the world, as long as they have Internet connections. That all changes with Office 2016. Now you can easily work on a document with other people in real time, as long as the document is stored in OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint Online. [ To comment on this story, visit. ] When Office 2016 was released in September 2015, real-time collaboration worked only with Word, PowerPoint and OneNote documents.

In July 2017 Microsoft finally made the feature available in Excel as well — but only for Office 365 subscribers who have updated to or later. (At some point Microsoft will roll out the feature to the non-subscription version of Excel, but the company isn’t saying exactly when.) This real-time collaboration works in both home and business versions of Office 2016, although business users have a few extras not found in the home versions, as I'll explain.

From here, you can send an invitation for other people to share your current document and find people with whom you've previously shared and worked on documents. To invite people to share a document, type their email addresses in the 'Invite people' box and select either 'Can edit' or 'Can view' in the drop-down. If you're on a corporate network and you're using the business version of Office 2016, you can also click the address book icon to choose co-worker email addresses. Then click Share. [ ] The Share pane lets you share files with other people, and lists those who have rights to share the file you're currently working on.
