  4. You can start editing the file now. If another user is working on a specific section, you’ll see a colored flag and the name of that person.
  5. Additionally, you can also start a conversation about a specific section of that file if you need more information. And you can add @mentions to address your question to a specific user.

All the team members can open and edit the files uploaded to the team channel. This also means that multiple team members can co-edit the same document at the same time. Teams will automatically merge all the changes in real-time.

The Wiki Tab is a very useful tool that Teams users can utilize to draft and edit documents, and chat at the same time. One of the advantages of using Wiki is that team members can ask and answer questions related to the documents they’re working on in real-time. In this manner, you’ll quickly get your answer and the team can move on to the next task.

The Wiki tab allows you to format the text, add new sections, link to different sections, and more.

Can Guests Edit Documents in Microsoft Teams?

Guest users can collaborate on documents in Microsoft Teams. People with guest access can see and open the documents available in Teams channels. They can also edit the respective documents if the IT admin has granted them the necessary permissions.

Your admin can always restrict guest users’ access to Teams files. Or they can grant guests additional access permissions. For more information on how to collaborate with guests in a team, go to Microsoft’s Support page.
