What Is It?

Co-editing in MAX Community allows several people to edit the same document or file at the same time. Authors may not edit the exact same paragraph at the same time, but are able to collaborate on a multi-paragraph (Word or PowerPoint) document or file in near-real-time.


When To Use It?

  • When multiple authors need to work on the same Microsoft Word or PowerPoint file.
  • When others need to be able to see your work once you save your changes, in near real-time.

How Does It Work?

A co-edited document will look and behave much like a regular file. In order to use co-editing you must be logged into the MAX.gov system. Learn more about Co-Editing in MAX.
