Collaborate with the Whaller 365 office suite
The Whaller 365 office suite (available from the Pro offer*) allows sphere members to view, create, modify and co-edit documents stored in a file box in real time.
You can view any document in a file box by simply clicking on it (no download necessary).
Note: Documents cannot be edited in the viewer.

There are two ways to begin editing a document:
From a document that is open in the viewer by clicking on “ Edit online ”. This will open the document in a new window and allow you to begin making modifications.

From the sphere box menu by clicking on the three small dots next to the document you wish to edit, then selecting “ Edit online ”. This will open the document in a new window and allow you to begin making modifications.

If multiple people are editing the document at the same time, their changes will appear instantaneously to all members, along with their name.

Note: Any sphere member can edit a document. However, a document can only be deleted by its author (the person who created or uploaded it) or a sphere administrator.
Highlight the text you wish to comment on, then go to the “ Collaboration ” tab. Once open, select the “ Add comment ” option and leave your comment.

To display all comments in the document, click on the “ Comments ” icon in the left-hand column.

To start a real-time conversation with other members working on the document, click on the “ Chat ” icon located in the left-hand column. This will open a chat window for you to write and send your message.

By default, modifications are saved automatically as they are being made. If several members are working on the same document, modifications are saved when the last person editing closes it.
To rename a document in the file box, click on the three small dots next to it to display its menu. Select “ Rename ”.

Download a document
Documents can be downloaded in a variety of formats: DOCX, PDF, TXT, HTML,…
Select “File”, then “ Download as… ” and choose the desired format.

To create a new document in the file box, click on the “ + New ” icon. A menu will open, giving you the option to create a new Word, Excel or PowerPoint file.
If you wish to upload an existing document, click on the " Import " button.
