You can edit a document in its associated application by clicking the Open button in the Home tab.
For example:
Let's say that you want to edit .doc files, by selecting the Edit using Associated Application option, the .doc files will open in MS word.
To Edit a Document in its Associated Application
| 1. | Select a document from the List View pane. |
| 2. | On the Home tab click the Open drop-down and select the Edit in Associated Application option, or right click the document in the List View pane and select the Open > Edit in Associated Application option from the popup menu. |
| 3. | You can also click the Edit button on the Image toolbar to edit a document. Using the Image Editor window you can resize, crop and rotate a document. You can save the modifications made to a document from the Image Editor.
Note:
If you use any of the Edit options to try and edit a document which is in the checked out state, then Globodox will not allow you to open the document unless you were the user who checked out the document. If you were the user who checked out the document, then when you use any of the Edit options, Globodox will try and open the checked out copy of the document (from your Checkout folder) for editing. For more information, see Document Check-in/Check out. |
