How do I edit and resave a document from my shared drive while it is read only?

Word

  • Open your document as usual
  • It will open in 'read only' view
  • To edit the document go to View and choose Edit Document
  • Make your changes
  • When you go to Save you will see the error message:


  • Go to File and choose Save As
  • Choose a different location to save your file.
  • You will be able copy to your shared filestore once full access has been restored

Excel

  • Open your document as usual
  • Edit as usual
  • When you go to save you will see the following error message:

  • Go to File and choose Save As
  • Choose a different location to save your file.
  • You will be able copy to your shared filestore once full access has been restored

All users have 50 GB of data storage, known as OneDrive, as part of their Office 365 account to store their files (How do I do that?)
