Amazon WorkDocs: Is there a way to have one doc (with version control) but saved in two folders, under two different users, at the same time?

Question

My colleagues and I often work on the same doc. For organisation and storage when the doc completed one of us has to download the doc and save in our own files. Is there a way to both have the same doc, stored in our own personal files, with version control? This will help us automate organisation!

Answer

Versioning is available and there are a few options how to collaboratively edit a shared document.  I recommend you check out Amazon WorkDocs Companion if you would like to use the web client to make updates and automatically save changes with a new version.  https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workdocs/latest/userguide/companion.html

There is also Hancom ThinkFree for experiencing a live collaborative editing session.

There is also the option to download the file and lock it to prevent others from overwriting your work: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workdocs/latest/userguide/client_lock_files.html
