Co-authoring with Teamcenter Office Online

Teamcenter Office Online works with Microsoft Office Online Server to enable browser-based editing, without a local install of Microsoft Office. Users have immediate access to content in the Active Workspace universal viewer and can check out the file with a single click and start editing in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Now you can co-author documents, real-time, with your coworkers. Use the share button to choose coworkers you want to include and the document is automatically routed to them. Everyone can view all writing and edits in realtime. When everyone has completed their work, you’re notified and the document is automatically checked in.

Check out this quick overview and take a look at the ease of use Teamcenter Office Online can bring to your users.  

Note that not all Microsoft capabilities are available, so you should check your use cases with this authoring option.

  • The Microsoft Office integration compatibilities, including Office Online, can be found on Support Center in the Teamcenter Integrations file via the Downloads > Hardware and Software certifications tabs. The Microsoft worksheet there cites Microsoft Office Online Server (OOS) Nov 2018 (Certified) as the compatible version. Note this is the most recent version of this Microsoft product.

    You can also try the new Compatibility Matrices, available from the link on the initial Support Center page, next to where you manage your product list.

  • Hello,
    Is co-authoring with Teamcenter Office Online an out-of-the-box function, or are additional add-ons or programming actions required for implementation?

    In our AWC (Teamcenter 14), nothing happens when I add a co-author as shown in the video. No workflow task for the co-autho appears, and the added co-author disappears after closing the selection window.

    Thank you in advance.

    Best regards,
    Daniel
