Which statement describes editing a CLM document via Office 365 Online?

• A. Only users with an Office 365 Online license can use this feature from within CLM.
• B. Office 365 Online is not supported.
• C. All users can use regardless of license.
• D. Office 365 must be installed separately.

Answer: (A)

Editing a CLM document through Office 365 Online hinges on licensing because the in-browser Office editors (Word Online, etc.) are provided by Office 365 Online. The CLM integration hands off the document to Word Online to enable in-place editing, and this handoff requires the user to have an Office 365 Online license. Without that license, the editor can’t be launched from within CLM, so the editing feature isn’t available. Office 365 Online is the web-based version of Office, so it runs in the browser and doesn’t require a local install. That’s why the requirement isn’t that Office 365 must be installed separately. It’s also why the other statements aren’t correct: the feature is supported, but access is restricted by license, not available to everyone regardless of license, and there’s no need for a separate local installation for the online editor.
