Collaborations

What is Collaborations?

Collaborations in Studium is a tool that allows students and teachers to work together on a document simultaneously. The document is saved in real time in OneDrive, meaning any changes made by one user are immediately visible to everyone sharing the document.

📌 Important: You must be logged into Office365 before accessing or creating a collaboration.

Open and edit a collaborative document

You can find the Collaborations tool in the course menu (if the teacher has made it visible) or on the group page.

How to access a collaborative document:

1. Log in to Office 365.
2. In the course, click Collaborations.
3. Click the shared document to open it.
4. Click Log in, then select Log in with Office 365. The tool will verify that you have already logged into Office 365.
   
   First time using Collaborations?
   You will need to grant the Collaborations tool permission to connect to your OneDrive. This is required because files are stored in Uppsala University's OneDrive when collaborating.
   
   
5. Once inside the document, click Edit to start working.
   

Create and share a new collaboration

Troubleshooting:

Error when saving a new collaboration? This usually happens if you are not logged into Office365. Ensure you are signed in, then try again.

Can’t see the Edit button? If the Edit button does not appear after opening the document, close the tab and reopen the collaboration—this should make the button visible.
