EPiServer CMS 5 helps you manage your documents efficiently through integration with Microsoft Office applications and built-in support for document versioning.

Working with the Microsoft Office Integration

Publish pages and documents directly to EPiServer CMS from Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint and add them to the File Management Library. The Office Integration Client has a built-in toolbar and is installed on the user’s desktop for ease-of-use while producing content for Web sites.

Document Management Check Out and Check In

You can easily link to documents from your Web pages. If you want to edit the file afterwards - just check it out directly in the EPiServer File Manager. It is then locked so that others cannot edit the file while you are working with it, although it is possible for others to view the most recently checked-in version. When you have finished editing the file, check it into EPiServer's version control.

Version History

All the updated versions of a file that have been checked in are saved in the version control system. It is easy to view the history of a file from the File Manager. It is also possible to restore a previous version of a file.
