# Editing a Document
## Concord gives you the flexibility to edit your documents online, and collaborate with other users in real time.
### How to edit a document in Concord
1. Create a new document or navigate to an existing document that you'd like to edit.
2. From the document toolbar, select **Edit**.
3. Revise the document, make changes, or add [attachments](https://help.concord.app/hc/en-us/articles/360061626072?hsLang=en).
4. Once your changes are complete, click **Save** at the top-right corner of the document to create a [new version](https://support.concordnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/205095925-Track-changes?hsLang=en).
### How to export a document to edit in Microsoft Word
- Download the document as a Microsoft Word file using the **Export** option from the top menu.
- Once you've downloaded your file, open it in Microsoft Word to make your edits, then save the document.
- When you're ready to bring the document back into Concord, select **File**, then **Import Word Document** from the top menu. You can also drag and drop the file directly into Concord.
- When reimporting from Word, you will have the opportunity to bring the document in as a [Live Document](https://help.concord.app/hc/en-us/articles/360060950872?hsLang=en) (which can be edited online) or using [Word Mode](https://help.concord.app/hc/en-us/articles/360062025691?hsLang=en) (to preserve formatting).
- Once your document has been imported as a new version, click **Save.**
- Whenever you click the **Save** button, a new version of the document is created, and all parties on the document are automatically notified of the latest version. You can then view, [compare](https://help.concord.app/hc/en-us/articles/360020689112?hsLang=en), and [restore](https://support.concordnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020689112?hsLang=en) prior versions of the document by selecting the **Versions** button from the document toolbar.
- Additionally, users can post messages to the [Discussion Panel](https://help.concord.app/hc/en-us/articles/205958985-Discussion-Panel?hsLang=en) under the Discussion tab to collaborate with colleagues and negotiate with external guests.
