How to Have External Users Edit Documents in CollabSpaces

If your documents are in NetDocuments, multiple people can work collaboratively on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents simultaneously. And while this exciting feature isn’t new – Google Docs has had it for years – you will need Office 365 to make it happen.  The great thing about NetDocuments CollabSpaces is that you can share documents with External Users and they can easily edit them without having NetDocuments on their pcs.
