Yes, Word (and only Word) can edit collaboratively on the desktop if the document is in SharePoint (and OneDrive, because OneDrive is SharePoint).
And teams is SharePoint too...lol pieces of shit software.
Nah, excel and ppt collab is also possible in the desktop apps.
Only for OneDrive. SharePoint documents lock excel tables and only one person can edit at a time. Though multiple instances can see and update the changes as the locked version is updated. Something about credentials.
Ah OK, that might be true. Because I'm fairly certain I saw multiple users at the same time on the desktop app for an excel sheet located in SharePoint
Really? I tried it about a year ago and the official answer from Microsoft was that it was unsupported.
Okay yeah thought I misunderstood something. Thanks!
