Anchor - Configuring the Collaborative Web Editor Tool in a Private Cloud Environment (Private Cloud Only)

Note: The Collaborative Web Editor will be available to Private Cloud partners with the Anchor 2.6.0 release.

Overview

The Collaborative Web Editor allows you to edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations when working in the web portal, without needing to download a separate application or navigate away from the system. Additionally, the Collaborative Web Editor allows you to make these changes simultaneously with multiple coauthors, and lets you see each edit in real time..

The Collaborative Web Editor is hosted within eFolder’s server environment; however, private cloud partners can utilize the Collaborative Web Editor by pointing to eFolder’s Web Editor Server. These settings can be configured within the administrative web portal.

For more information, please reference the How to Use the Collaborative Web Editor Knowledgebase article and video.
