What is Jive for Office?

Jive for Office is an add-in for Microsoft Office that enables users to store documents in their community and allows multiple users to edit the same document simultaneously in Microsoft Office. Documents stay in sync because Jive for Office notifies you when changes have been made to the document, and you can choose how you want to deal with the changes. You can incorporate changes into your document, or overwrite your document with the updated document.

You'll get real-time notifications of changes and comments being made to a document when you have it open in supported versions of Office. If someone else has changed the document, you'll also get the chance to merge your changes with other people's.
