How do you edit a file in a sharepoint document library and prevent other users from viewing or overwriting the changes you make to the file you are working on?

You cannot prevent others from viewing the file while you're working on it, as long as they've read permissions to it. However they wouldn't be able to see the changes that are being done while you work on it, unless you check in the file. To achieve this, Open the document library settings. Go to 'versioning settings'. Scroll down and select the option 'require check out'.


I work in a call center that services internal clients I am a novice to Sharepoint so is my dept I have been asked for feedback What are useful ap's of SharePt vs Outlk email vs shared drives?

As far as document managemment goes (SharePoint has many other useful features) SharePoint has the following advantages: One copy of a document shared by many users. One version of the truth. Automatic document versioning (if enabled) with ability to revert to prior versions. Auditing of document creator and modifier including date/time. Check-out/check-in to prevent users overwriting each other's changes. AD integrated security down to the document level if necessary to prevent unauthorized access. Ability to specify read vs write access. Out-of-the-box workflows for simple document approvals. Ability to develop mor complex workflows. Ability to automatically email subscribers when documents are added, changed or deleted.


Suppose you have modified a file you downloaded from a sharepoint to your computer's local hard drive you locked the file on sharepoint but now want to enable other users to view the changes you mad?

If the file has been checked out, still the changes made to it and can be viewed if they were checked-in. In other words, you can always checkin the changes and keep the file checked out to yourself. It would still allow others to view the changes but not edit them.

Why would you create a sharepoint document workspace?

to manage a set of documents using an office application. A Document workspace allows to colloborate on documents with other team members. This helps maintain a single copy of the document being worked upon and avoids conflicts. Every person added in the To, Cc field of the outlook message automaticlaly becomes the member of the workspace used for working on the document. The workspace provides tools to provide up-to-date status on the document, create tasks for it, add relavant links for it. One can easily track changes and maintain versions.

How can you connect sharepoint calendar to outlook. I selected Connect to Outlook from Actions dropdown on Sharepoint and see it on my outlook but any changes made to either do not update on the other?
