  The article says that other office apps can only do collaborative document work in their browser versions, but I thought Word can do it natively as long as the document is in OneDrive/Sharepoint/whatever microsoft came up with next?

  I recall opening a shared document locally with Word and being able to collaborate.

  Nevertheless, amazing news for Libre software!

    Yes, Word (and only Word) can edit collaboratively on the desktop if the document is in SharePoint (and OneDrive, because OneDrive is SharePoint).

    Yes MS office can do it natively in the apps now. but that does use one drive sync.

      Yeah I assumed old info as well. And with electronjs allowing web apps to run as native apps I also have suspicions that the version between web and native is going to blur out with MS apps.

      I am so hyped for Libre software. Inkscape is another amazing software that has come a long way recently.
