Using Office Online The following instructions relate to any Office application (Excel, PowerPoint, Word etc.) as the principles are the same. When using the apps online you should bear in mind that they are a slimmed down version of the full software, therefore if you wish to make best use of the full software use the desktop application instead e.g. PowerPoint 2016! Note: There is NO save button, as documents are automatically saved. The Office 365 App launcher If you're new to the app launcher, you might be wondering what it is and how to use it. The app launcher is designed to help you get to your apps from anywhere in Office 365.

Sharing files with others Things to consider Files stored in OneDrive for Business can be shared with others from any device by going to your Office 365 site in a browser. Or you can share a Word document, PowerPoint presentation, or Excel spreadsheet right from within Office without even going to Office 365 in a separate window. Whichever way you choose to share Office files, you can work with others at the same time they work on a file and see the changes that other people make as they make them. Here are a few details to keep in mind as you work with others: Basically if someone is using the full Office version e.g. Excel 2016 and someone else is using Excel online then the workbook can t be edited in Excel Online until it s closed again in desktop Excel version. It s best if all parties are all using the same version to co-author! In the desktop programs, co-authoring works best in the most recent version of Office (Mac and Windows), but is also supported in Office 2010/2013. There's no special co-authoring mode and no command to begin working together on a document. Just open the file for editing and start working. As you edit, the Office app tells you when other people are working too. In Word, you'll even see which paragraph they re working on. Updates are handled differently in some programs from others e.g. OneNote notebooks and Excel Online workbooks show updates immediately. In Word documents, save the document to share your updates and to see others updates. 12 P age

Saving to OneDrive or a team site? It s tempting to save all your documents to OneDrive for Business. The link to your OneDrive for Business library is always sitting there at the top of the page, ready for you to upload or create a document from OneDrive for Business. However, you also need to think about who can and can t access the documents you save to OneDrive for Business. If a document is a collaborative effort related to a project, then saving it to a team site might be a better choice. Save documents to OneDrive for Business when OneDrive for Business is a place where you can store files from your computer into the cloud, and access them from any device, or share them with others. store, sync, and share your work files. As part of Office 365 or SharePoint Server, OneDrive for Business lets you update and share your files from anywhere and work on Office documents with others at the same time. You don t plan to share them. Documents you place in OneDrive for Business are private by default, unless you place them in the Shared with Everyone folder. This makes OneDrive for Business your best option for draft documents or personal documents that no one else needs to see. You plan to share them, but they have a limited scope or lifecycle. You may sometimes work on documents that aren t related to an ongoing project, which are important mostly to you, but that you still want to share. In this case, you expect people to use the document once and then be done with it. People don t need any additional context information, or need to know where in particular you re keeping the document. All they need is a link to the document and editing permission. You can t identify an existing team site where your document belongs, and you don t think the purpose of the document warrants creating a new one. Save documents to a team site library when A SharePoint team site is a place that users can collaborate on files, documents, and ideas. It is set up to facilitate two-way communication between team members. SharePoint offers a full complement of document libraries, as well as task lists, calendars, workflows, wikis, and other features that help a team communicate and collaborate. You want team members to recognize the document as being relevant to an ongoing project. You want to spread ownership and permissions across a wider collection of people. If a document is important to the success of a project, it s a good idea for there to be people other than yourself who can control what happens on the site. You want permissions to be granted on a site basis, instead of on individual documents. If people have access to the team site, then they have access to documents stored in the site. 19 P age

Other project-related documents are already saved to the team site library, and others expect to find it there. You want to create a check-in workflow that assigns the document to someone else. Moving document from OneDrive for Business to team sites Sometimes individual documents grow in importance and become relevant to a project. When that happens, it may make sense to move them from OneDrive for Business to a team site. Moving a document from OneDrive for Business to a team site library is a manual operation. You can either copy or cut and paste the document. The easiest way to move files between libraries is to use Explorer. In the library, click the Library tab, and then choose Open with Explorer. Troubleshoot moving documents from OneDrive for Business There are a couple of issues to keep in mind when moving documents from OneDrive for Business to a team site library: Hyperlinks to the original document stop working, because you ve deleted the document in OneDrive for Business. You may want to share the document you moved to the team site to give people on the site an updated, working link. If people followed the original document, links in their newsfeed to that document will stop working. To restore this association, people will need to follow the document in its new location. You might want to replace the original document in OneDrive for Business with one that simply gives a link to the new file, and announces the new location. 20 P age
