Edit documents

Editing documents involves two things:

• Editing of the document properties in the Document dialog.
• Editing of the document file itself in the application the document was created in.

You can open a document in edit mode or in read mode. When you open the document in edit mode, only you can edit the document. Other users can open the document in read mode. If your organization uses a document library like SharePoint, multiple people can edit a document simultaneously.

​

Edit document properties in the Document dialog

To change document properties, such the project the document is linked to, use the Document dialog:

1. Select the required document.
2. Right-click and select Document. If you double-click on the document, it opens directly in the application it was created in.
3. Make the required changes.
4. Click the Save button.

​

Edit document content

Follow the instructions below, depending on how documents are managed in your SuperOffice installation.

Browser security question for opening files

When you access and edit a document, file, or email in SuperOffice, your browser prompts you with a security question regarding the file download.

• To open the file, you must select the Open/Allow button.
• Select Always allow to skip the question next time.

The dialog is slightly different in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Chrome: Select Open URL:SuperOffice-Extensions. Edge: Select Open. Firefox: Select Open Link. Safari: Select Always Allow or Allow.

How do I know if I am using SharePoint, SuperOffice WebTools or not?

SharePoint: Create a new document. If it opens in Microsoft Office Online, you are using SharePoint. SuperOffice WebTools: Open the system tray in the lower right corner of your desktop and look for the SuperOffice icon .
