Content Section (In-Browser Document Editor)

nVIRO allows for in-browser document editing using a third-party plug-in called Aceoffix. A Content section containing the in-browser Aceoffix editor appears beneath the main document details.

When a document is opened by a user with permission to edit it, Aceoffix opens in a browser-independent window. With a few exceptions, Aceoffix functions exactly like Microsoft Word. Internal users must have Microsoft Word installed to use Aceoffix. Aceoffix is not available on mobile devices.

For information on installing the Aceoffix plug-in and troubleshooting common issues, see the Installing and Troubleshooting Aceoffix page.

To save edits while working in the document editor, click the Save button, the Save icon at the top left of the document, or File > Save.

Finalizing a Document

When the document is complete, its status can be changed from Draft to Final by clicking the Save and Finalize button in the sidebar.

After a document is finalized, only users with the Documents Administrator security role can revert it back to Draft status.
