Administrator's Guide: Word/Excel Document Editor

Word & Excel Document Editing Feature

With the Editor enabled, workspace admins have the ability to actively edit Word and Excel file types. This allows admins to easily manage new versions of a file and decide which version of a file is displayed on the Files page within the CapLinked browser.

With the Editor enabled, non-admin users with Upload access can use the Editor for Word and Excel file types and save new versions of a file.*

There is an additional option to allow non-admin users without Upload access to see the document and any underlying formulas (e.g. with Excel files), but cannot change the text or numbers within the file. Non-admin users without upload access can also use search and filter features for Excel files with this option enabled.

This feature is set on the team level. Therefore, any workspace that is part of a team with this feature enabled will have Editor capabilities.

*Note: When the Editor is enabled, users can copy the content from the files they are viewing in the Editor. 

The Document Editor feature is only available for Enterprise plan subscriptions. It is not available for the Team Plan subscription. If you would like one or both of these Editor options enabled for your account, please contact support@caplinked.com.
