get distracted by the gym, the coffee
shop or anything online.
I've been self-employed for almost
25 years, and while I face the very
same pros and cons in my business, I
wouldn't trade it for the world.
You'll learn discipline (or you won't
be successful). You'll learn balance
(or you won't have any relationships).
You'll learn fi nancial control (or you
won't have any money).
Starting your own business can be
fun, motivating and energizing. Be
smart about how you set it up, how
you transition and how you design
your own VA business.
Maybe you're meant to run your
own VA business!

SharePoint — no need for special confi guration or settings.
To co-author with others, you need:
• Co-authors
• A shared storage area
» OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, or
a SharePoint Server document library to store your fi les.
» Real-time co-authoring requires the online versions.
» Regular co-authoring works with on premise Share-
Point Server but not real-time.
• Apps that support co-authoring
» Word and PowerPoint on all platforms, and on all ver-
sions since Offi ce 2010, Excel Online, Android, and
Windows Mobile.
» Real-time co-authoring is supported on Word for
Windows Desktop 2016, and Word, PowerPoint and
Excel Online.
• A co-authoring compatible document format
» Co-authoring is only
supported on newer fi le
formats such as .docx,
.pptx, and .xlsx.
» VBA macros are not
supported in co-
authoring documents.
» Documents with Track
Changes
enabled do not
support real-time typ-
ing in Word but you
can still co-author.
Save a document and collaborate
The co-authoring process may vary slightly by product ver-
sion but the concepts are the same.
1. Save and share the
document to the
Cloud OneDrive or
SharePoint.
2. Invite people to
work on the docu-
ment with you.
3. Invite yourself by
getting a docu-
ment link.
4. Start co-authoring.
The process for co-
authoring documents
in Microsoft Excel and
PowerPoint follows the
same steps.
Happy co-authoring!
