MS Office Editor (Desktop): Usage Guide

Sometimes it is useful to make minor adjustments to your sales presentations. From the Showell app you can open MS Office files with your MS applications, make changes to the document and save the updated version to Showell

MS Office Editor: Available options

Once you activate the MS Office Editor on your workspace, you'll unlock additional options under each MS Office File in Showell.

• The 'Edit as new'-button: This option will open the document with the corresponding MS office application. Any edits or changes will be saved to your Showell's 'My Files'.
• The 'Open in'-button: This will open the document with the corresponding MS office application. Any edits or changes will not be auto-saved to Showell. (However it is possible to save the edited document to your device.)
  • This option will also be available with non-Office documents, such as PDFs, images and videos, where you can choose to open them with an application of choice.
• The 'Edit'-button: This option is available within your My Files folder. This option will open the document with the corresponding MS office application. Any edits or changes will overwrite the document within your My Files folder. The analytics of this document will remain the same before and after the Edit.
