Content Authoring online editing allows users to edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents without downloading them to S-Drive.

In order to use Online Editing, you must have a Microsoft Azure account, and your S3 bucket must be versioned. When files are edited using Online Editing, they will be saved automatically as you edit, and when you’re done, the document will be saved as a new version in S-Drive.

Info

 Prerequisites

  • Versioning must be enabled in your bucket (and configured in your org)

  • You must have a Microsoft Azure Account

Tip

What about security?

Online Editing uses Web Application Open Platform Interface (WOPI) to manage request between S-Drive and Office Online.

  • Files are always kept in Amazon S3.

  • Only the file content is shared with Office Online via the WOPI.

  • Office Online has no information about where the file is stored

  • Office Online does not have any permission to change the files in S3.

  • Files are never saved to Office Online servers. Just a temporary copy of the file is kept throughout the editing session

  • Once the editing session is complete, WOPI uploads the updated file to S3 and the file is saved to S-Drive as a new version.
