This article will show you how to enable FileBound Integration with Microsoft Office 365.
Integration with Microsoft® Office 365
An Edit Documents Using Office365 Integration option has been added to the Main Options – General tab. When this option is selected, users will see an Edit Online option under Edit in the Web Viewer File Toolbar. This allows them to edit Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint documents online.
Use Case: Your company creates contracts in Microsoft Word and stores them in FileBound. You want to give your users the ability to make modifications to contracts online. By enabling this option, the contracts can be opened in the Web Viewer and edited online using Office 365.
Items of Note:
• When editing online, users will be prompted to log in to Office 365. Each user must have an account to log in to the Office 365 service.
• If multiple users are editing the same document, both user’s changes are saved to the document.
• When another user is editing, Microsoft indicates the users viewing or editing a document.
• On-Premise Customers: The FileBound Web Server and FileBound URL must be externally accessible for Office 365 to access the FileBound document and replace the document after editing. Users will be unable to open a document if FileBound is unreachable.
