Edit files without downloading

In Wrike, you don’t need the habitual "download-open-edit-save-upload" process to edit an attached file. To edit a document, simply click on it 1 , and it immediately opens in Microsoft Office or OpenOffice, depending on what you use. The file opens right from the Web without downloading to your computer.

When you are done with editing, simply press the "save" button and close your file. The new version is uploaded to Wrike automatically 3 .
All previous versions also are stored in Wrike 4 , so you can easily track the history of changes by downloading a particular file version when needed.

Currently this feature works with:

• Microsoft Office 2007/2010 x32 for Windows
• Microsoft Office 2010 x64 for Windows
• Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac
• Open Office for Mac and Windows

If your teammate is working on an MS Office document right from Wrike, you will see a small lock sign and a notification 2 next to the file title in the task’s attachment list. If needed, you can stop your colleague’s session with the file by hovering over their name and pressing the “Unlock” button. Keep in mind your colleague’s changes will not be saved in this case. Note: this feature is not supported in OpenOffice.

This light-weight editing process saves dozens of precious seconds and clicks, and it helps you overcome many challenges of asynchronous communications. This feature also lets you combine the convenience of editing your documents in the familiar Office program with opportunities for storing and sharing your docs in the cloud. Whether you are in the office, on a business trip or working from home, your files are always at your fingertips.
