Cannot edit word documents in the Teams application.

For users working with Office documents in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft is beginning to roll out a temporary change where there will be an additional step in order to edit a document. This is a change from current behavior that allows users to go straight to edit mode when clicking on a document in the "Files" tab of a channel, a conversation, or from inside an assignment.

• Upon clicking on the document, users will first see the document in view mode – they will be able to see the document content, but not make changes.

• In order to edit the document, users need to click on the options in the top right of the white bar above the document content and select "Open in Browser" or (for users with Office for Windows installed on their device) "Open in Desktop App". This will open the document in Office in a separate window from Teams and allow the user to make changes.

OneNote in Teams

• OneNote in Teams will be read-only. To edit, please use OneNote for the web or OneNote desktop app. The error below is what is presented when using OneNote in Teams. By clicking on the link, it will open OneNote for the web.
