In MetaShare’s tool-bar, we have added these two new actions:

  • Open:
    • You can decide to open a Microsoft Office-document in Office Online or the local Office application, by first selecting the document and then clicking on the “Open” function in the tool-bar MetaShare's “Open” function. This currently applies to documents of these types: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Visio. Within soon we will also extend this functionality to also apply to Microsoft OneNote and Microsoft Project. If the user has edit-rights to the document, it opens in edit-mode, else only in view-mode. If the specific file-type is not supported in Office Online, the users will only get the option to open the document in the local Office application, e.g. “Open in Excel”.
  • Download:
    • You can download a single document by first selecting the document and then clicking on the “Download” function in the tool-bar MetaShare's “Download” function
