This may be accomplished with OneDrive integration, but modifying documents in Workfront is too cumbersome. Asking business owners to download the document, make their edits, and remember to reupload the document is too difficult. Create functionality similar to OneDrive or Google docs.
Agree that Word doc (and even excel) reviewing could be easier without downloading/uploading. There's also this idea exchange for having full Word editing capabilities for redlining docs within the proofing tool. Could also be effective.
Editing of documents is currently supported through the Google Docs and Microsoft OneDrive integrations. The caveat is that when editing these documents that were generated as proofs through Google or OneDrive, the changes do not reflect in the previously generated proof
We do not currently have any further plans to introduce document editing within proofing
With the advent of online and/or inline editing of documents becoming some prevalent, it would be great to see Workfront join the ranks of other cloud providers to offer this capability. I don't like having to create multiple workarounds with other tools to make this happen. Utilizing Onedrive for example adds additional administrative and training issues versus using the exiting WF system. Please HELP!!!
We are struggling with user adoption after moving our project management processes from a Sharepoint centric (robust document editing and management w/o download) to WF. The Onedrive and Sharepoint integrations aren't a feasible solution when you are talking about managing thousands of projects that must follow strict manufacturing/development certifications like ISO, IATF, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (this is a big one).
The activity of downloading a native WF office document to the OS, editing, uploading a new version, and deleting the local OS document is time consuming and error prone. It removes the document from the system of record and opens up substantial opportunities for non-compliance to the standards/certifications listed above.
We are looking for a robust user experience that is managed in the Operational System of Record to satisfy these strict auditing requirements and ensure we are following industry best practices. The capabilities in WF today don't allow us to do so.
