# Introduction to online editing and the webDAV protocol

## Collaborative online editing (co-authoring)

This section applies to BOOST EMPOWER GUEST (free) licenses

Cooperlink integrates Microsoft's online editors (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) allowing you to edit files directly in a complete interface without necessarily having these applications on your computer. These editors also make it possible to work together on the same office document (co-authoring).

Office 365 subscriptionAccess to the online editing feature requires a subscription to Microsoft's Office 365 suite

## WebDAV protocol

This section applies to BOOST EMPOWER licenses

The webDAV protocol allows the user to access cooperlink's document structure through Windows Explorer and open files directly in local applications. The user experience is therefore identical to the same as for a local disk (e.g. C:) or a network disk.

Navigate between projects, workspaces, directories, and files. Click to open and edit your files online.
