Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents uploaded to SmartSimple can be edited directly from the system, rather than having to download, edit and upload each document. When you save the file from within the application that you are using it will be uploaded to SmartSimple automatically.
While you are editing the file, it will be marked as "checked out" so no one else will be able to edit the file at the same time.
When enabled, clicking on an Edit button next to the uploaded file will launch the file in the Microsoft application. All versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint are supported. When the edits have been made, and the file is saved, the edits will be reflected in the document saved to the Smart Folder or custom field.
