Microsoft one-ups Google Docs with real-time editing in Office 2016
Microsoft finally caught up with Google Docs’ real-time editing back in 2013, but the company is one-upping Google today. Office 2016, the next major version of Microsoft’s desktop suite of apps, will include real-time co-authoring for Word documents. While Microsoft and Google both support co-authoring on the web, this extends the same collaboration feature to the desktop apps in Office 2016. Microsoft has confirmed to The Verge that it will enable the feature in Word first, and then PowerPoint and Excel in the future.
