How Can I Resolve Conflicts When Collaborating on Files in OneDrive?

1 min read

Answer: 

Conflicts can arise when multiple users edit a file simultaneously, particularly if they are offline or using incompatible tools.

Steps to Resolve Conflicts:

  1. Use Office Apps for Real-Time Collaboration:

    • Open shared files in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Changes are saved and synced automatically in real time.
  2. Check Version History:

    • Right-click the file in OneDrive and select Version History.
    • Compare versions and merge changes manually if necessary.
  3. Communicate Editing Schedules:

    • Establish clear workflows to prevent simultaneous offline edits.

Tip: 

Use Comments and Track Changes features to facilitate collaboration.
