    I'm not sure how well that would work.. For example, someone writing the page and another person writing the second page? I'm trying to think of a rio where it even makes sense for more than one person to be working on a nt at the same time. Unless multiple people are just reviewing a document aking comments?

    We deal with this all the time at my work. For example someone has a spreadsheet up on Sharepoint and then several users can view/edit it at the same time. Could be an export of some data, could be next week's department schedule, doesn't matter.

    In a previous life we had all of these documents on a local file server and I was forever getting calls asking "who has such & such file open?" as only on person could have it open for editing at a time.

    Another example I've seen recently at work is an assistant and a high up VP were recently working on a word document together. The document was on her OneDrive and she shared it with the VP. They had Zoom open and were talking through the document together. (Was an announcement of a new hire).

    I would imagine people would just have to work on different parts of the spreadsheet and trust other people not to overwrite the cells & data they're working on?

    I suppose you have to trust the people you work with & of course only the people that _need_ access to certain files would have that access.

    And even if someone deletes the file or messes it up, O365 provides versioning, so you can "roll back" the file to a certain state.
