About collaboration
Collaborate on files you send via Microsoft Outlook with BlackBerry Workspaces for Windows.
When sharing files, click Enable collaboration to collaborate with others. Your recipients can edit the file (if granted the necessary permissions) and share the new version with all recipients, and you can monitor activity on sent files by opening the File activity panel in Outlook.
After you click Send, your recipients can collaborate on the file in the following ways:
- Annotate and edit the file online with the online viewer or in Office online
- Open the file using the edit link in the email, make changes and save, automatically uploading their changes to the corresponding workspace
- Download the file and make changes locally, and then attach and protect the file in a reply to the original message; the changes are saved to BlackBerry Workspaces
You can collaborate on the file in the following ways:
- Add recipients to the sent file via BlackBerry Workspaces Web Application, which means that you are expanding the group of people who can work on the file.
- Create a new email with the same attachment in Outlook or send a copy of the file via BlackBerry Workspaces Web Application to create a separate version of the file for collaboration with a different person or group of people.
Any activity on the file appears in the BlackBerry Workspaces File activities tab for the selected email. Use the context menus to download or view the latest version of the file.
