Is there any API to start off an Office Online session to edit say a Word document?

I'm looking at the "Box Platform" and the file viewer is good and says it supports 120 odd files. What I want to do is have a button that will go from the viewer and launch an Office Online edit of the document. That doesn't seem to be possible.

Can anyone help with this?

, hello there!

Just wanted to share a quick update - we just launched the GA of the Open With element with support for Google Docs, Adobe Sign and Box Edit (aka editing via desktop applications). Thought you might find this interesting.

Here are a few resources to help you get started:
