GD Cloud Online Edit & Sync

Users who have the GD Cloud Document Storage and who have a Microsoft Office 365 license can now enable Online Edit & Sync functionality.

By clicking on the Document Title, the document will open in a new tab where a user, or multiple users, can make edits to the document that will be saved without requiring a re-upload of the document to GivingData. 

Please reach out to your Implementation Manager or CSM to enable this feature.

To make edits to a document stored in GivingData:

  1. Click on the Document Title. The Document Title is a hyperlink that will open a new tab of your web browser to make edits online in Microsoft Word.

Associated Permissions

The ability to view and edit documents in the Online Edit & Sync depends on the GivingData role permissions selected. Permissions can be adjusted in the GivingData Admin Tools & Settings. Users who have the “View Documents” permission will be able to view the document in the Online Edit & Sync, but will not be able to enter Edit mode to make changes to the document. Users who have the “Manage Documents” permission will be able to view the document in the Online Edit & Sync and enter Edit mode to make changes to the document.
