idgard® Office Add-in: Save file from computer to a box
If you
want to store locally created or locally existing files in idgard®, you can use
the second of the two idgard® buttons in the start menu of the office
applications.
Proceed as follows:
- Open
the file on your computer.
- Click
the "Save As" button.
- Select
a location in a box.
The
file is saved in the box in idgard®. If necessary, unlock the file again to
allow other users to edit it.

If you would put the file where there is already a file with the same name and
you use Word's save icon, the existing file will be overwritten.
