Comment on files without edit permission
I just learned about a relatively recent Google Drive feature where files can be shared with others with only permission to comment: https://www.blog.google/products/g-suite/new-ways-comment-microsoft-files-and-more-google-drive
Does anyone know if there an equivalent feature like this in OneDrive for Business? I know you can set the default state of a doc shared to be in “view mode”, but a collaborator still must have edit access in order to make comments. Curious about workaround ideas that folks have.
Hi Taylor, thanks for reaching out.
This is enabled by default when you share the file with view-only permissions – opening it in the web apps allows the use of “Review” mode, which gives you a commenting permissions and nothing else.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask, we’re here to help you further if needed.
Your VAF Team.
