Microsoft will temporarily adjust how you edit Office files in Teams

Microsoft will temporarily adjust the way Office files (Word/Excel/Powerpoint/etc.) are edited in Teams to accommodate new growth and demand in remote working during this exceptional situation.

• Files will open in Teams only in “Read Only” mode
• In order to edit the document, users need to click on the options (three dots) in the top right of  the white bar above the document content and select "Open in Browser" or  "Open in  Desktop App". This will open the document in Office in a separate window  from Teams and allow the user to make changes. See picture:
