desktop / save-as ...

Hi there,

  If the user does a save-as would it be reasonable to auto-switch to edit mode for that ? - clearly they intend to edit, and any benefit of not touching the file is not present then anyway.

Yup. Anything that reduces the percentage of time a users sees this
kludge, the better.

Indeed, sounds very reasonable.

Makes sense to me! Created Desktop app's Save As should switch to Edit mode · Issue #15719 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub to track the problem- I’ll have a look.

I dont see a reason why I should at the Desktop app didnt start in edit mode in general. Office Files are for edit, not for viewing.

See CODE open file in view mode · Issue #15695 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub

However if the Desktop App starts in Viewing, there can be some visual Informationen to switch to edit mode and have there an checkbox always open in edit View.
