Viewing or downloading a document

You can either view or download documents using Workplace XT.

Viewing is a specific option that opens the document in its appropriate application, such as opening Microsoft® Word, Excel or PowerPoint files in Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Viewing a document does not download the document, it simply opens the document in the native application.

Downloading lets you download and modify a file. The file is not tracked (checked out); you can work with the content for that file, but the file is not tracked or versioned.

You can download a copy of a document to your local computer. If you want to edit the document, you must first check out the document before you download it. You can download your documents at the same time to the specified location on your workstation. When those documents reside in a folder with one or more entry templates associated with it, Workplace XT allows you to modify your selected documents before you download them. For example, you can remove specific documents before downloading your documents.

If your selected document has more than one version, you can download either the current version or a specific version in the series. The Download action always downloads the specific release version of the document as specified in the information page. To download the selected version, right-click the document and click More Information > Versions. For more about document versions, see Manage document versions.

To download a document:

  1. Navigate to the document by browsing or searching.
  2. Hold down the CTRL key, and then click each item you want to download at the same time. Right-click and click Download. You can overwrite existing documents on your local machine before you download your documents from the object store.
