Opening a .doc or docx in IOS starts in read-only

But on iOS I’m not seeing the edit circle button.

Weird, I would’ve thought it would be:

  • Pick any ODT/DOCX/… document.
  • Document opens in Viewer first.
    • Document can be viewed/scrolled fine.
    • You get basic menu
      • File + Export As + Word Count + …
  • Press floating “Edit” button.
    • Now document can now be updated/changed.
    • You get the full menus/controls
      • Bold/Italic/Underline + Font Colors + …

Just like the (Android) workflow discussed in another thread a few weeks ago:

I would’ve thought iOS version would be very similar, but I’m not 100% sure—(I only use/test Linux + Android versions).

Someone more knowledgeable on the iOS version will probably be coming in and answering your questions/comments soon. :slight_smile:
