All existing documents are automatically available for a preview in a preview pane. The menu bar next to the preview provides additional options to work with the document: Properties, History, Notes.

  • Properties: Explore the details about the selected document. The Type shows possible extensions such as: xlsx, pptx, docx, ods, odt and odp. The other file types use other extensions: DOC, PDF, IMAP, TXT, HTML.

  • Notes: The users can use Tags or Note option within this section to discuss modification of the unfinished document online. The Tags and Note are editable from Document Preview mode.

  • History: Check the list of the revisions from other collaborators. There is also Add new version option. (The users can not go through the revisions online; they have to download them on the server. Still they have a perfect overview about different versions of the document uploaded by other collaborators – details about when and who made a modification is shown in each revision).
