Working with Office files in Docs, Sheets and Slides gets easier

Google has made it easier to work with Office files in Docs, Sheets and Slides with the introduction of Office editing. With Office editing, you can now edit, comment and collaborate on Microsoft Office files using Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. This feature brings the collaboration benefits of G Suite to Office files while streamlining workflows by eliminating the need to convert file types.

Office editing will make it easy for G Suite users to open and edit Microsoft Office files that have been shared by partners, vendors or other teams. In cases where some members of your organization use Office while others use G Suite, this ensures seamless collaboration and eliminates the need to consider or convert file types. Office editing brings everyone the benefits of G Suite’s real-time collaboration tools and intelligence features to Office files.
