Microsoft 365 Office Editor

Important Notice 💡

You might have discovered that we currently offer two versions of Office Editor. You are correct!

As we enhance our services, the existing Office Editor will continue to function as it is, while we introduce a new and improved version that offers advanced features and seamless integration with your Microsoft 365 account.

Rest assured, we will support the current Office Editor throughout the transition to the new version until you, your company, and Workspace have fully made the change. All the functionalities of the old version will be available (and improved) in the updated version as well.

Once the full transition is complete, the old version will be retired.

Advantages of the M365 Office Editor

The MS Office editor is a valuable tool for sales representatives who need to quickly update their presentations while on the go or in between meetings. With Showell's MS Office Editor, there is no need to download and re-upload files, saving time and effort.

This feature allows for flexibility in customizing content directly within the app to meet the specific needs of each prospect. For instance, within Showell, you can easily create or open an MS PowerPoint document, make changes to the title and images, and save the updated version to your Showell Workspace/My Files.
