The Managing SkyVault
Content from within Microsoft Office tutorial walks you through the
document management features built into Microsoft Office to illustrate how
they can be used with documents stored in a Share collaboration
site.
A Collaboration Site in SkyVault Share is the equivalent of a Team Site in SharePoint.
While all Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook) can interact
with Share, for the purpose of this tutorial, you will perform the tasks in Microsoft Word
2007 and Microsoft Outlook 2007 for Windows.
Note: Microsoft Office 2010 onwards doesn't
include a Document Management panel for working with the SkyVault repository from Microsoft
Office, but you can still use the online editing feature in SkyVault. You can reopen
documents stored in SkyVault by clicking File then
Recent in a Microsoft Office program and selecting the
document.
