Microsoft Office 2016 Preview: 10 New Features That Will Turn Partners' Heads

Real-Time Co-Editing In Word

Microsoft has added a feature that Google Doc users have been enjoying for years now -- real-time co-editing in office documents. Microsoft has allowed real-time co-editing in Office Online, but it says it will expand those functions to Office 2016 apps starting with Word. Microsoft says you'll be able to collaborate more easily with remote teams and help groups ’stay on the same page.’

No word on when co-editing and creation tools will become available in other Office apps such as Excel.
