Microsoft Word app is grayed out- "People are currently collaborating on this file. You can join them by using Office Online"
AnsweredI am not sure why I am unable to open the Microsoft Office Word app instead of the online version. I need to edit with track changes.
I have the correct Box tools installed.
I'm not clear what this message is trying to say. Do I have to ask the other collaborators to exit in order to open the document in desktop Word?
