Managing projects is all about teamwork – and effective teamwork requires seamless communication and collaboration. That’s why AdminProject is excited to introduce one of its most requested features: real-time file editing.
Whether you are updating project documentation, co-authoring a report or completing a participant list, there is now the option to edit files live – no downloading, re-uploading. In other words, collaboration just got a whole lot easier.
How It Works
Real-time editing is integrated directly into AdminProject’s document storage system. Here’s how you can use it:
- Find the file you want to edit (e.g., .docx, .xlsx, or .pptx files).
- Click on the three dots (⋯) to the right of the file name.
- Select ‘Open in Office for the web’ from the drop-down menu.
- The file will open in a new browser tab.
- All changes made to the document will automatically be saved in the original file on the Admin Project platform.
As a result, there’s no need for extra tools or additional file uploads. This makes real-time file editing in AdminProject simple and accessible, even for users without advanced technical skills.
Why real-time Editing Matters
In the past, collaboration often meant a flurry of emails, endless document versions, and confusion about which file was the most up-to-date. With AdminProject’s real-time editing feature, that hassle is gone. Now, teams can:
- Edit documents simultaneously, no matter where they are.
- Track changes live, seeing updates from team members as they happen.
- Eliminate the need to send files back and forth.
- Ensure that everyone works on the same version – always.
- Easily download any previous version of the file whenever needed.
Benefits for Project Teams
Real-time editing doesn’t just save time – it transforms the way teams work. Here are a few ways it helps:
- Faster Review Cycles: No need to wait for one person to finish editing before someone else can add their input.
- Better Engagement: Encourage participation from all partners by making it easier to contribute.
- Fewer Errors: Working on one version reduces the risk of miscommunication and mistakes.
- Greater Transparency: Everyone stays in the loop on what’s being written and decided.
📌 Important
Remember to edit your Office d ocuments in AdminProject using Microsoft Office Online. You need to register for Office 365 at office.com and start collaborating more efficiently – directly from your browser! To access the full functionality, including editing and saving documents, you must have an active Office 365 subscription or a Microsoft 365 package that supports Office Online. Without logging in, you can still preview and print documents in read-only mode, but full functionality requires signing in.
💡 Tip: To make the most of real-time editing, agree with your team on editing rules (e.g., assign sections, use comments for suggestions) to keep things clear and productive.
At AdminProject, we believe that collaboration should be easy, intuitive, and stress-free. Real-time editing brings us closer to that goal – and we can’t wait to hear how it transforms your workflow.
