Opening a Document

You can open and download a particular document without locking or checking out the document from the server to the local working directory.

Required access roles: Author, Leader, Owner, Contributor, Reader

Notes:
  • If you open a document without any files attached, a message appears alerting you the object does not contain files.
  • If you open a document with multiple files attached to it, you can select one file from the Revisions/Versions pane.
  • You cannot open two files with the same file name in Microsoft Excel.

3DEXPERIENCE manages document versions in Collaboration for Microsoft. To open more than one version of a file, download the older version of the document to a special directory within the local working directories and open the file from there.
