22 Work on files with others at the same time When you store and share your files in OneDrive for Business, you can work with others at the same and avoid reconciling multiple versions of your files. You can work together from either the online or the desktop versions of Word, PowerPoint, or OneNote. For workbooks, use Excel Online. If someone opens the workbook in the Excel desktop application, the workbook can t be edited in Excel Online until it s closed again in desktop Excel. Here are a few details to keep in mind as you work with others: In the desktop programs, co authoring works best in the most recent version of Office (Mac and Windows), but is also supported in Office 2010. There's no special co authoring mode and no command to begin working together on a document. Just open the file for editing and start working. As you edit, the Office app tells you when other people are working too. In Word, you'll even see which paragraph they re working on. Updates are handled differently in some programs from others. For example, OneNote notebooks and Excel Online workbooks show updates immediately. In Word documents, save the document to share your updates and to see what changes others have made.

23 SIGN OUT NOTE: When you are logged into a District computer, you are automatically logged in, so you will not be able to sign out of Outlook Web App. If you are still using the computer, you can simply close the browser window.

If you're at home (not on a district computer), you can sign out by: Step 1: Click on your portrait icon on the upper right corner. Step 2: Click Sign out
