You (User A) have the original copy of the document
local.docx on your desktop. The Save Updatable Copy
feature in Word enables other site members to obtain a copy of this document
to reside on their own machines.
Important: You can perform this task only if you have
access to a second machine that uses Internet Explorer as the default
browser and has your SkyVault
server as a Trusted Site.
To save an updatable copy of a Document Workspace file:
- On another machine, open Word. Click the Microsoft Office button and select Open.
- Enter http://<SkyVault server URL:7070>/SkyVault.
- At the login page, log in as User B (userB, userB).
-
Browse to /SPP/documentLibrary and open
local.docx.
You (User B) now have the Document Workspace copy of the document local.docx open.
-
On the Document Management task pane, select the Documents
tab.
The document local.docx is highlighted in the Documents list.
- Position your cursor over the document name, open the menu that becomes active, and select Save Updatable Copy.
-
Save the document locally when the Save As
dialog box appears.
Note: If prompted, log in as User B.
User B now has a local copy of local.docx, just as User A does. This copy, like the original document on your own machine, is linked to local.docx in the Document Workspace.
- Make some changes to local.docx, save the document, and upload it to the Document Workspace, just as you did in Update the Document Workspace copy as User A.
- Close local.docx and exit Word.
