Syncing takes the latest copy of a co-authoring document and saves it as a new version in iManage Work. The original document remains checked out so that users can continue modifying the document. This can be useful in scenarios where the document is being modified over a period of time but other users who are not a part of co-authoring want to view and track the changes being made to the document.

  1. On the iManage tab, in the Co-Authoring group, select Sync. Alternately, select a document from the Co-Authored Documents list, double-click to open it, and in the Co-Authoring group, select Sync.
    A dialog box appears asking you to confirm if you want to synchronize the document from OneDrive for Business to iManage Work.

  2. Select Yes. A confirmation dialog box appears if some user is still editing the document. Select Yes.
