Besides being able to view and edit documents in the browser, SharePoint also lets you view and edit online documents in the corresponding desktop applications. There are two ways to open an online document in the desktop app:
- Browse to the library and then open the document from there.
- Directly open an online document from the app.
In this recipe, we will see how to use both methods to view and edit a document that was uploaded to a SharePoint library in the corresponding desktop application.
