Unlike locally installed Office applications, Office Online does not have a "Save" button. Instead, there is an automatic save function which means that any changes you make to the file are saved immediately. When you close the file, all the changes you have made to the file are already in your Storegate account. Tip! Remember to enable versioning if you want to be able to go back to old versions of your files.

You can open and edit files in the following formats: *.docx, *.xlsx, *.pptx

Microsoft Office 97-2003 files (*.doc, *.xls, *.ppt) can be previewed but not edited.

You can preview and edit documents from the "My files" part of the account as well as "Shared files" (business accounts).

For business users with Team accounts, you can see in real time when other users are editing documents, so two or more people can work on the same document at the same time. It is also possible to add comments to documents.

If you do not want to use Microsoft Office Online, you can deactivate the function when you are logged in to your Storegate account via the website. For team accounts, the administrator decides whether the function should be active or inactive. The setting can be found under the tab "Username-> Account" -> "Settings".

The Office Online service is provided by Microsoft, which means that all support is provided by them. Document changes are made on Microsoft's servers and automatically uploaded to Storegate.
