In **Documents**, tap the file then **Edit file**: it opens in the built-in online editor (ONLYOFFICE), in your browser or the app. Changes are saved to the club's Documents space; tap **Close** when you are done.

## Open a document in the editor

1. Open **Documents** and the folder containing the file.
2. Tap the file.
3. Under **Actions**, tap **Edit file**.

The editor opens full screen, in the app's language, with your name as the author of the changes.

**Edit file** appears for word-processing files (`.docx`, `.doc`, `.odt`, `.rtf`, `.txt`…), spreadsheets (`.xlsx`, `.xls`, `.ods`, `.csv`…) and presentations (`.pptx`, `.ppt`, `.odp`…).

Only club and document managers can edit a file. Other members with access to the folder see **Open file** instead: the document opens read-only.

## Work together

Several people can open the same document at the same time: the editor shows everyone's changes. It is handy for writing meeting minutes together or keeping a shared duty rota.

The club's file is updated once everyone has left the editor. Wait a few seconds after closing before downloading it.

## Editor action bar

- **Copy link** copies the document's link, to share in a chat with members who have access to the folder.
- **Close** returns to the document's folder.

## Create a blank document

Club managers and **File Managers** can create a document directly in a folder: **Add** > "Word (.docx)", "Excel (.xlsx)" or "Powerpoint (.pptx)", then the name without the extension and **Create the file**. See [How do I share documents with the club?](/en/docs/files/shared-documents/)

> **NOTE**
PDFs cannot be edited: they are shown as a preview and open with **Open file**.
