Document editing

Attention. Editing is not available for Yandex.Mail for Domain users who registered after October 10, 2016.

You can create and edit documents, tables, and presentations directly in Yandex.Disk.

The following file formats are supported:

  • documents — DOCX/DOC, ODT, DOCM;
  • tables — XLSX/XLS, ODS, XLSM, XLSB;
  • presentations — PPTX/PPT, ODP, PPSX.
Attention. If you open a document that's in an old format (DOC, XLS, PPT) in the editor, Yandex.Disk will automatically create a copy of the document in the new format (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX). Only the copy will be edited. The source document will remain unchanged.

Create a document

To create a new document, table, or presentation, click the Create button.

Using the editor

To open a document with the editor, choose it from the file list and click the button on the properties bar (on the right).

All changes will be saved automatically. To close the document and go back to the Disk folder, click the folder name (on the top) or close the editor tab.

You can rename the file, download it, or send it to print. To see additional file management options, open the File menu.

If you have a question about using the editor, enter it in the Tell me what you want to do field:

The document editor is provided by Microsoft.

Collaborative editing

You can jointly edit a document with other users:

  1. Create a shared folder and grant full access to the users that you want to edit the document with.
  2. Create a new document in this folder, or put a copy an existing one there.

Then all users that have access can edit the document. Changes will be saved automatically. In the upper-right corner of the screen you can see who is currently editing the document along with you.

To prevent a user from editing a document, change their folder access rights to Read only or deny them access to that folder.
