After you upload your Office documents to a SkyDrive
folder and configure the folder permissions, you can start to
collaborate on an Office document. With Office Web Apps you can
simultaneously edit documents, known as co-authoring (New!).
Co-authoring allows two or more people to work on a document at the
same time in real-time without the need to save and reject or accept
changes, known as sharing. If two people edit the same thing, each
Office Web App deals with differently. Before you can co-author a
document, you need to send a link in an e-mail to those you want to
share the folder that contains the document or embed a link in a blog or
Web page, so others can access the folder. The folder permissions
provide security access to the folder.
