With DirectEdit, multiple users can edit and save the same document, marking essay marking and collaborative writing simple.

Keeping track of documents can be difficult in a large organisation – especially when a number of different people are involved in editing the same file. Often, the only option is to send the document back and forth by email, using files names to ensure you’re working on the latest version. The solution is DirectEdit.

The end of multiple emails and documents

To edit a document, a user simply clicks on the file and starts working. The document is then locked for editing – meaning that other users can’t make any changes – until the file is closed. itslearning automatically backs-up the file while you’re working, so if you lose your internet connection or accidentally log out of itslearning, you can always recover the latest version of the file from a temporary folder on your computer.

What can you do with DirectEdit?

• Open and edit documents in the itslearning system
• Check file history
• Upload new versions of a file
• Download files to your computer
