Try it!
After you share a file, you can collaborate with others and work at the same time.
-
See who else is in the document and where they're working.
-
A presence indicator shows where someone is making changes. See any changes right as they're being made.
-
Add comments and @mention others to get input right where you want.
Notes:
-
Co-authoring works similarly in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on Windows, Mac, and on the web.
-
You can collaborate with others for free with Microsoft 365, regardless of whether you or the recipient have a subscription or a Microsoft account.
Use Version History
With your file saved to OneDrive or SharePoint, use Version History to go back to a previous version of a file if someone makes a change you don't want.
Note: Besides a few differences, Version History works similarly in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on the web and in the desktop apps.
-
Select the file name.
-
Select Version History.
-
Choose one of the versions.

Click through the Changes or scroll through the file to compare changes.
