INTRODUCTION

This article describes editing conflicts and version control in Groove Virtual Office and in Groove Workspace.

MORE INFORMATION

The Groove Files tool saves conflicting versions of a file if two or more members of a workspace change the same file. Additionally, the Groove Files tool provides a co-edit function for controlled, collaborative editing of Microsoft Word documents. However, the co-edit function does not track versions. To track versions, use the Groove Document Review tool. The Document Review tool lets the workspace member who installed the tool initiate a review cycle of a document or a document set. Additionally, the Document Review tool lets the member track and merge reviewers' changes through multiple review cycles.
